Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced a new policy for meetings with its founder and former prime minister Imran Khan, currently in jail, Express News reported on Sunday.

In a statement issued after a political committee meeting, PTI said that a five-member committee will be formed to manage and approve the list of people allowed to meet Khan.

The list will be finalised every Tuesday and Thursday and submitted to prison authorities through one of three designated focal persons; Gohar Ali Khan, Salman Akram Raja or Intizar Panjhotha.

The party warned that no individual outside the approved list will be permitted to meet Khan. Any member defying this rule will be considered in violation of party discipline.

If prison officials block any approved visitor, the remaining committee members will protest by meeting Khan collectively. In such cases, PTI said it would file a contempt petition against the officials.

The party added that government officials from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) would be exempt from this restriction and may visit Khan at any time without committee approval.
