ISLAMABAD — PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar has played an important role in the proposed transfer of PTI founder Imran Khan from jail to Shifa International Hospital, sources said.
According to sources, Barrister Gohar held meetings with important personalities a few days ago and assured them that the PTI founder would refrain from political activities following his transfer. The matter was reportedly settled on the understanding that he would not engage in political activities.
Sources said the PTI founder would initially be transferred to the hospital, while a second-phase transfer to Bani Gala is also being considered.
Police and the district administration have been mobilised in view of the proposed transfer. An important meeting has also been convened at the Ministry of Interior to review security arrangements.
According to sources, foolproof security will be ensured during the transfer. Police and district administration authorities have been directed to prepare a comprehensive security plan.
Special security arrangements will be made along the transfer route, while additional security will also be deployed around Shifa International Hospital. Entry of unrelated persons will be restricted during the transfer.
Security agencies have been directed to remain on high alert in view of possible security threats. Additional police personnel may also be deployed for the transfer.
Consultations between district administration and police authorities regarding the security plan are underway. Sources said all relevant stakeholders will be taken into confidence regarding the transfer.
