The Federal Communications Minister’s conduct on high moral grounds is a guiding example for other affluent politicians, says IPP leader Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan.

LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Sep, 2026) Former provincial minister Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan said Abdul Aleem Khan had made 22 foreign official visits, all of which were undertaken using his personal aircraft and at his own expense.

In a post on X, he said, “According to my information, President of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party Abdul Aleem Khan made 22 foreign official visits during his current tenure as Federal Minister for Communications.

The distinctive feature of all these visits is that Abdul Aleem Khan undertook them in his personal aircraft and paid the expenses himself. In today’s era, this is a highly commendable example of conducting official visits using one’s private aircraft and personal funds.

Abdul Aleem Khan’s tradition, based on high moral grounds, is a guiding example for other affluent politicians.”

Meanwhile, journalists and politicians have strongly criticized Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s use of a government aircraft for a private visit.

Former minister Asad Umar said in his reaction on X, “Maryam Bibi proudly said that I spent Rs27.5 million on taking the aircraft to London. Bibi, according to a government report in your province, another 10 million people have fallen below the poverty line.

Do you not fear Allah while indulging in such extravagance and then proudly publicizing it when the people of your province are facing such severe difficulties?” Similarly, senior journalist Hamid Mir said during his program on Geo news that the Punjab chief minister had used a highly bitter tone while addressing an event, saying that people were distressed over why the chief minister had gone to London on her aircraft.

He said she had also accused her critics, adding, “However, I would submit to her that there is considerable contradiction in your position. Therefore, the Punjab chief minister should herself reflect on the contradictions in her statements.

A few days ago, she said in London that she was on leave. Today, to justify her personal use of the government aircraft, she said that a chief minister is never on leave.” He added that statements by her fellow ministers also did not match.

One minister had said that the aircraft was purchased for Air Punjab and that a fleet was to be established, adding that aircraft would have to be purchased or leased for Air Punjab. On the other hand, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif displayed a receipt at a public gathering showing payment of the aircraft’s fare.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony of electric buses in Multan, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif said she had paid Rs27.5 million for using the aircraft to attend her daughter’s graduation ceremony, adding that she had paid the aircraft’s fuel, parking and other charges from her own pocket.
