PTI, govt rule out any offer to move PTI founder to Banigala amid negotiations

Islamabad: The PML-N-led government and the PTI on Friday denied any alleged offer made to move former prime minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to Banigala or any other location.

The denials came amid ongoing negotiations between the two sides to bring down political temperatures.

PTI lawyer Faisal Chaudhry claimed that Imran said he was offered a deal to be relocated to his Banigala residence. Rumours regarding the alleged development have also been circulating in the media.

Imran’s sister Aleema Khan also said last month that he had rejected offers of house arrest in Banigala.

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan told a news channel that Imran Khan had “categorically stated” that his imprisonment was illegal and he would reject any offers to be moved to other locations.

PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui also said that no such offer was given and it should be asked from Imran himself.  "No member from the government’s negotiating team had made such an offer in their personal capacity or said anything of the sort."
