The Ministry of Interior has told the Sindh High Court that there are dangers of terrorist attacks on Adiala Jail, citing an intelligence report.
The Ministry said this in a report it submitted to the court in the case regarding security measures being provided to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan in Adiala Jail.
The report said that military installations in Rawalpindi are on terrorists’ target list.
“The terrorism is a plan hatched by agencies of hostile countries and banned groups,” said the ministry claiming that hostile agencies and anti-Pakistan elements wanted to spread political chaos in the country.
The Court directed authorities to beef up security protocols and arrangements for incarcerated Imran Khan and other prisoners in Adiala Jail.
The Chief Justice stated, “Since there is a threat of attack from the outside, the federal government will have to look into this matter,” the court declared, adding that it had sought a report considering the seriousness of the matter.
