Dr Syed Eesar Mehdi's piece titled "Former ISI boss Faiz Hameed faces wrath of Asim Munir" has been published in Weeklyblitz.

The article discusses the dramatic downfall of former ISI chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed, who was recently sentenced to 14 years in prison by a military court on charges including engaging in political activities, violating the Official Secrets Act, and misuse of authority. It highlights how his close alliance with ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan became politically toxic after the latter’s ouster, framing Hameed’s conviction as part of a broader effort by Army Chief Asim Munir to dismantle the influence of the Imran-Faiz faction within Pakistan’s power structure. The piece reflects on how personal loyalties and military-political dynamics have shaped both his rise and fall.
