LAHORE: Sher Afzal Marwat, a previous member of the PTI, has sparked renewed discussion regarding Imran Khan’s mobile devices, asserting that the pilfered gadgets were handed over to General (r) Faiz Hamid. These assertions add a new angle to the persistent ambiguity surrounding the vanishing of Khan’s phones, a dilemma that first surfaced during the PTI’s Sialkot rally in May 2022.
In a conversation with a private news organization, Marwat remarked that the inquiry into the absent phones points back to Shahbaz Gill, who was previously a special assistant to the prime minister and a close confidant of Imran Khan. Marwat alleged that Gill, who served as Khan’s chief of staff at that moment, supposedly took Khan’s device and passed it on to General (r) Faiz Hamid.
This accusation trails earlier reports suggesting that Khan’s mobile devices disappeared under enigmatic conditions, raising concerns about possible leaks of sensitive data. Given Khan’s prominent position, the absence of his device presents substantial security threats, with worries that vital information may have been compromised.
Marwat additionally claimed that upon realizing the theft, Imran Khan relieved Gill of his duties and distanced himself from him. Furthermore, Marwat maintained that Khan ordered Gill’s expulsion from the party’s political committee, although certain PTI leaders allegedly overlooked this order.
In response, Gill refuted the claims, ridiculing Marwat and the host who discussed the accusations on social media. In a post on X (previously Twitter), he humorously suggested that they should retrieve the phones from General Faiz’s home, which ignited more conversations online regarding the situation.
ایک مسخرہ اور دوسری حاجن۔ الزام تو کوئی ڈنگ کا بنا لینا تھا۔
اچھا ایسے کرو اب کیونکہ جرنل فیض تو تمہارے مالکوں کے پاس ہے۔ وہ دونوں فون لے لو۔ ایک خود رکھ لو ایک اپنی بہن کو دے دینا۔ اور ہاں انکے چارجر جنرل فیض کے گھر سے ضرور لینا۔ ورنہ کارکنوں سے مانگتے پھرو گے😂 pic.twitter.com/jaZJBmElck
