ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad high court will hear on Monday a petition that said former PM
Imran Khan and his cabinet members should be put on the no-fly list to prevent them from leaving Pakistan. The plea was filed late on Saturday, hours before
Khan
lost a no-trust vote in parliament and his government of four years fell.
Petitioner Maulvi Iqbal Haider
also sought an investigation into the alleged "threat letter" that Khan has been talking about to assert that a foreign power worked behind the scenes to oust him.
He requested the court to put Khan, his former ministers, former national assembly deputy speaker Qasim Suri and former ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed, on the exit control list that prevents Pakistani nationals from moving out of the nation.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's premier investigative organisation, the
Federal Investigation Agency
(
FIA
), has put its immigration staff at all international airports on high alert with a directive to stop any government official linked to the Imran Khan regime from travelling abroad without a no-objection certificate, a media report said on Sunday.
The move came hours after Khan was ousted as PM.
The Airport Security Force was also put on alert. The FIA and airport officials said they had got directives to be alert. They, however, did not specify who gave them directives.
