'False propaganda about PM’s Saudi visit'
Issuing a statement in response to a tweet of PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has stated that PM Shehbaz was not going to Saudi Arabia on a chartered plane.

"The PTI leaders should not mislead the masses through false and baseless propaganda," the information minister said in the statement, clarifying that the prime minister would go to Saudi Arabia on a commercial flight and bear the expenses of his visit.
