The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) backed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government Tuesday urged Punjab authorities to hand over party founder Imran Khan, incarcerated in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, to it after the latter imposed a two-week ban on all public visits and meetings with the former premier citing “security threats”.
In a statement, Adviser to KP Chief Minister on Information Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif asked the Punjab government to hand over Khan to the KP government if it was unable to provide security to the incarcerated former prime minister.
Last week, Khan was barred from holdings meetings inside Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail for two weeks. According to a notification issued by Punjab’s Home Department, all kinds of visits, meetings and interviews have been restricted in Adiala Jail due to security alert.
