Jet Use by Imran Khan:PML-N asks Engro to remain within Limits
PML-N now the ruling party has warned the Engro Corp to behave and remain within its limit which provided a charter jet to the former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Engrocorp had recently bought jet amind higher profits from DAP sale.
Engro Fertilizer had also received billions of rupees on account of Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) on account of gas supply.
However, it had not paid to the government despite receiving billions from the poor farmers.
In addition, during the PTI government, a cartel of the fertilizer industry had made billions by overcharging.
Engrocorp is also in the business of DAP and urea fertilizer. The poor farmers had to pay Rs 10000 per bag of DAP and over Rs 3000 per bag of urea.
The PTI government had taken action but nothing had come to conclusion.
PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal in his tweet said that it was highly unprofessional for the Engro Corp that provided its private jet to a Political leader.

Iqbal referred it to PTI leader Imran Khan who had used a jet of EngroCorp to reach Karachi to stage a rally.
Ahsan Iqbal said that a political leader had used a jet for anti-government rallies regardless of whether it was chartered or sponsored.
I find this highly unprofessional on part of EngroCorp that its private jet is being used by a political leader for anti government rally regardless of fact whether it was chartered or sponsored. Please know your limits being a public listed company; its not personal fiefdom. pic.twitter.com/EyZHz5T2qJ

He warned Engrocorp to remain within its limit being a public listed company as it is not a professional fiefdom.
It is also interesting that the PML-N government had awarded multimillion dollars LNG terminal contract to Engrocrop that had led to a corruption case in National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Therefore, Engrocorp had received a multimillion dollars contract for an LNG terminal during PML-N tenure.
Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had to face a corruption case in NAB.
Furthermore, even the PTI government had brought several Engrocorp officials into the government.
Asad Umar was a former employee of Engrocorp. Imran Khan had also appointed Khalid Mansoor as an advisor on CPEC.
Currently, the chairman OGDCL board had also worked in Engrocorp.
Engrocorp had said in a statement that they had nothing to do with the use of the jet by Imran Khan.
They said that a private company was holding a jet and Engrocorp had not facilitated Imran Khan to use a jet.
