Right now, DG ISI is Faiz Hameed: interior minister

Islamabad (HRNW) Presently, the chief of the Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence is Lt. General Faiz Hameed, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said Sunday.

He was addressing a press conference in Islamabad on the government’s negotiations with the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan. Answering a question on the appointment of the DG ISI, he said: “The ISPR or Ministry of Information will be to explain better on the notification [of the appointment].”

“When will the notification be issued? This question will be answered by the concerned departments too.”

Last week, Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that Prime Minister Imran Khan and COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa have completed consultations on the appointment of the new DG ISI.

The statement came a day after Chaudhry told journalists that the authority to appoint DG ISI rested with the prime minister.

Later, on October 13, sources revealed that the Defence Ministry sent a summary regarding the appointment of the new DG ISI to the Prime Minister’s Office. It has been received by the premier.
