JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has admitted on Friday that he mistakenly quoted former ISI chief Lt. General retired Faiz Hameed behind former prime minister Imran Khan's ouster in 2022.

A day earlier, the JUI-F head made the startling revelations, claiming that the no-trust motion against Imran Khan was tabled by Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) on the directives of Gen (retd) Bajwa and  Lt Gen (retd) Faiz.

This he said in a fresh interview with GTV's anchor Gharida Farooqi. 

The JUI-F chief said he mistakenly named Faiz Hamed but it is a fact that both Qamar Javed Bajwa and Faiz Hameed allegedly rigged the 2018 polls.

Meanwhile, both the former army officers rejected teh claims of Fazlur Rehman.

The former army chief and ex-spymaster denied the claims advising JUI-F chief of refrain from making false accusations.

According to the sources close to ex-DG ISI, Mr Faiz said that the no-confidence motion was tabled after months of his transfer from DG ISI to Corps Commander Peshawar.

As per the sources close to ex-army head, Gen (retd) Bajwa said that he had met Fazl two times at the directions of Imran Khan to stop them from lodging a no-trust motion.

Mr Bajwa said the first meeting was held at his home at a time when Maulana was leading a Long March to Islamabad and the meeting had wrapped up without any consensus.

Another meeting was attended by all PDM leadership, including Shehbaz Sharif, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Akhtar Mangal, Shahzain Bughti, and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.

According to Mr Bajwa, in the second meeting, he suggested PDM leaders "not table a no-confidence motion but when they did not agree, he urged them to take a long march’s decision back and in return, Imran Khan will announce elections." 

Both former army men claimed that they were trying to resolve matters between PDM and Imran Khan.
