Court sends Lieutenant General Amjad Shoaib (retd) on 3-day physical remand

The FIR against Lt-Gen Shoaib (retd) was registered under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups, etc) and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

It stated that the former army officer incited people to revolt against institutions and attempted to provoke disharmony, and anarchy and create a law and order situation in the country through his controversial statements on a TV show.

Lt-Gen Shoaib (retd) was previously summoned by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) after he made claims about a meeting between the Pakistani prime minister and an Israeli team. However, he failed to appear before the FIA’s Cybercrimes Wing.

Government will be in more problem after the arrest of Lt. General Amjad Shaeeb. To control retired General's is the duty of Armed F of rces only. However it's an example for the other retired officer's. That if the government wants they can be in problem also.

Lets hope the old man shuts up and learns to enjoy his comfortable retirement funded by the people of pakistan. We have had enough of the intrigue of the cult of Niazi.

@Notsurprised, Gen Niazi was responsible for dividing Pakistan in 1971, and Gen Tikka Khan wanted the empty land of Bangladesh where no human beings were living.

Oh my god! My fellow Pakistanis, did you see the awful revolt and anarchy caused by the statement of this individual (or many others recently, who are going through bogus charges against them). Man, we really did dodge a bullet this time. Whew! What a waste of resources (instead of going after real crooks) and suppression of free speech. We are on our way to become Iran/KSA.

Dare you or anyone else touch these the so-called 'holy cows'. Had a civilian been in his place, he would have been locked up for long or might have been made to disappear. And look here, he goes free. A different law for each individual here. What is going on?

@Afzal , Hats off to you for giving a SHUT UP call to someone who was professing behavior of suffering silently. There's an awesome quote "I may not like what you say. But I will die for your right to disagree with me". Let's act more like humans and call animals out of their sheep skin amongst us.
