However due to security measures it was announced that Khan along with Naeem-ul-Haq – the Information Secretary of PTI,[2][3][4] will be residing in Military's secretary house no 1 in PM enclaves of PM housing colony in Islamabad.[5][6][7][8] Khan plans to convert the Official PM house into a public research University.[9][10][11]
