Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has announced plans to challenge a Foreigners Regional Registration Office directive that requires him to depart India by October 28.
The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) issued a directive on Tuesday demanding that former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan leave India by October 28. Khan’s spokesperson confirmed that the former leader will file an appeal against the order, citing procedural lapses and lack of sufficient evidence.
The directive was issued after Khan’s recent visit to India, during which he was reportedly denied entry into certain areas. The FRRO cited security concerns and the need to uphold immigration laws as reasons for the order.
Khan’s legal team plans to challenge the directive in a Delhi court, arguing that the decision was made without proper notice and violates his right to due process. If the appeal is successful, Khan could remain in India beyond the stipulated date.
The move has drawn attention from political analysts who see it as a test of India’s immigration enforcement and its diplomatic stance toward Pakistan. The outcome of the appeal could have implications for future visits by Pakistani officials to India.
