However, reacting on the refusal,  PTI leader Asad Umar took to the Twitter and said the administration gave no reason for refusing the landing permission.

اسلام آباد انتظامیہ نے عمران خان کے ہیلی کاپٹر کو پریڈ گراونڈ اترنے کی اجازت مسترد کر دی. کوئی وجہ نہیں دی کیونکہ کوئی ہو ہی نہیں سکتی. جان بوجھ کر اسلام آباد انتظامیہ عمران خان کی زندگی کے لئے خطرہ بڑھانے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں.

Asad Umar claimed that the authorities failed to provide any reason for the move. “The Islamabad administration is deliberately trying to increase the threat to Imran’s life,” he added.
