Pak Punjab government questions use of chopper by Imran Khan

The government of Pakistan's Punjab province has asked Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to tell the people under which privilege he is using the helicopter of the KP government.

"The helicopter is used for public welfare. Imran Khan should tell the people under which privilege he is using the KP government helicopter," the Dawn quoted Punjab government spokesman Malik Ahmed Khan, as telling a news conference here.

He said the Punjab government had purchased a helicopter at a cost of Rs1.5bn but it was not for Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

"Helicopter is used during emergency situations," he said.

To a question the spokesman said Dr Taqueer Shah had returned to the country but he was not given any office. Shah had left abroad after the Model Town incident in which 14 Pakistan Awami Tahreek workers were killed.
