Federal Minister for Privatisation Abdul Aleem Khan vowed on Wednesday to ensure transparency in the bidding process for the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).
Expressing his thoughts during the Senate session, Aleem Khan said: “The role of the government is to prioritise facilitation over business ventures. If the government is to engage in business, it would inevitably lead to the same outcomes that the country has encountered thus far.".
"The PIA cannot run without privatisation. I do not want to indulge in blame games," he said.
