ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Naeem-ul-Haque on Monday has revealed that PTI Chief Imran Khan will live in Chief Minister’s annexe at Punjab House after swearing-in as Prime Minister of Pakistan.

The decision was taken after Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) compiled its security report declaring PM-in-waiting’s Bani Gala residence and Speaker House perilous as both locations remain vulnerable to terror threats.

Khan’s Bani Gala residence and Speaker House don’t have complete boundary wall and sufficient numbers of check posts, the report revealed.

Officials had also decided to meet cricketer-turned-politician and inform him about the threat level.
