The federal government has decided to transfer the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former prime minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to Islamabad Jail once the new prison is completed.

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited Islamabad Jail and the under-construction hostel to review the development work. He was accompanied by Inspector General Islamabad Police Ali Nasir Rizvi, Chief Commissioner Islamabad Muhammad Ali Randhawa, and Director General of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Dr Usman Anwar, along with other senior officials.

Later, the interior minister attended the Islamabad Police passing-out parade as chief guest. Addressing the ceremony, he said it was an important day for the federal police. He stated that earlier there was no dedicated anti-terror force, but a special six-month course was completed in just three months through day and night efforts.

He praised the officers who trained the personnel and said training schools in Islamabad are being upgraded. He added that people from other regions may also come to Islamabad for professional training in the future.

Speaking about Imran Khan, Mohsin Naqvi said that once the Islamabad jail is fully completed, the PTI founder will be shifted there. He said the construction work will be finished within two months and that all medical facilities will be available inside the jail.

He further explained that since Imran Khan was sentenced by an Islamabad court, he will be transferred to Islamabad jail accordingly.

This decision could have political impact. Shifting Imran Khan to Islamabad jail may change security and legal arrangements. It may also affect political discussions in the coming weeks. The government says it is an administrative step, but many will watch closely what happens next.
