Prime Minister Imran Khan is making good on his promises of austerity and protecting taxpayers’ money ever since coming into power in 2018.
The premier’s international visits have garnered plenty of praise owing to the fact that his predecessors had spent lavishly, enjoying the high-profile visits with their families and huge delegations.

When you are honest & concerned about your nation, you spend every penny on the welfare of your nation. A practice which was gravely missing missing in the past where rulers conveniently spent tax payer’s money while Nation was pushed in the pits of debt pic.twitter.com/csmOwIpjBT

Here’s a comparison:
Prime Minister | Year | Expenditure ($) |
Yousaf Raza Gillani (PPPP) | 2012 | 459,451 |
Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif (PML-N | 2017 | 762,199 |
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi (PML-N) | 2018 | 561,381 |
Imran Khan (PTI) | 2020 | 68,000 |
In its statement, PID further said that PM Khan has directed the concerned people to further cut down the expenses on his foreign tours.
The 67-year-old leader’s previous trip to Washington cost only $68,000 to the national exchequer as compared to Nawaz Sharif’s $549,854 and Asif Ali Zardari’s $752,682.

Joke of this century……………aur saray paisay Hareem shah par laga diye……….us ka koi audit hi nahin…………..Hareemzada
Honest and concerned my a**. Sky rocketed prices for basic amenities for general public and allowancing that by whining austerity measures.
IK gov started issue health cards to transgenders. So saving of money, has been gradually spending on people too.
Pakistanis must raise their intellect and not get fooled by such things. Imran Niazi has caused Pakistan loss of trillions and has damaged roots of this country and we are talking saving a trip cost.
You all are so f#cked up pieces of ar$e s#it. Its better to born as a dog than to born as a ret@rd like youse.
His foolish speech will cost us 8 times more!
nothing mentioned about the trip cost in 2019 by IK.
Why, Did not he travel in 2019??
