When will they sit and discuss the privatisation of PIA which is bleeding money and constantly getting bailouts from the government? PIA’s quality is worse than any other local airlines and the fares are no different either so why our tax money is being wasted like this? We pay tax but don’t get the benefit of it, so why shouldn’t we leave Pakistan? No wonder ~7 lacs Pakistanis left this half-year alone.
