Punjab House being considered for Imran Khan’s residence

Media reports said that Punjab House is appropriate in terms of security while it is also suitable for election activities.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 6th August, 2018) Prime minister-in-waiting Imran Khan is likely to be shifted to Punjab House, media reports said.

Punjab House is being considered favourite for Imran Khan’s residence after taking the oath of prime minister.

Media reports said that Punjab House is appropriate in terms of security while it is also suitable for election activities.

In his victory speech, the prime minister-in-waiting had declined to use Prime Minister’s House. Khan had announced that he would not use the Prime Minister’s House as his residence and that his party would later decide the fate of the building.

Since then, there have been several reports as to where Khan will stay. After assessing the security of Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence, the district administration officials had told the PTI chairman that his residence could not be provided foolproof security as the area was open and vulnerable to threat.

A few options were then given to him, including using an accommodation at the Ministers’ Enclave, which he accepted. He had decided to shift to Speaker House in Ministers’ Enclave in Islamabad instead of Prime Minister House. However, there were several objections on him being shifted to Speaker House as it is a property of Parliament.

Punjab House is the latest to the list which is being considered for Imran Khan’s residence.
