“Three officers, including a lieutenant-general, have been removed from their jobs. Strict disciplinary proceedings have been completed against the officers including three Major Generals and seven Brigadiers,” said DG ISPR.
Sharif said, so far, the granddaughter of a retired four-star general, the son-in-law of a retired four-star general, the wife of a retired three-star general, and the wife and son-in-law of a retired two-star general have been presented with irrefutable evidence.

Major General Sharif said that the families of the “martyrs” and all ranks of the army are deeply concerned over the desecration of martyrs’ memorials in several parts of the country during the May 9 incidents and riots.
“The events of May 9 have proved that what the enemy Pakistan These scoundrels have done what could not be done in 76 years.
Talking about the trial under the Army Act of those suspected of involvement in the May 9 violence, Sharif said permanent military courts are functioning, in which “102 miscreants are being tried and the process will continue. “
He said that suspects being tried in military courts had full legal rights, including the right of appeal to higher courts and the Supreme Court.
However, the SC is currently hearing a case filed by several petitioners, including Imran Khan, against the trial of civilians in military courts.
Imran Khan, whose arrest sparked nationwide protests, has condemned attacks on military installations and desecration of army monuments, but has called it a ploy by his opponents to break up his party and disqualify him from electoral politics. The tricks have been told. He claimed that hundreds of his “innocent” supporters, including women and students, were “illegally” behind bars. Imran repeatedly said, “This work has been done by the enemies of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for political gains.” He has been away from Pakistani TV stations since last month during live addresses on social media. Dozens of senior PTI politicians have publicly announced their separation from Imran and his party. Some deserters have formed a new political party – the Istehkaam-e-Pakistan Party – with the full backing of the country’s powerful military establishment.
