Claims are circulating on social media that the Pakistan Army has acquired Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). Officially, the airline was sold to a private investor group led by Arif Habib Corporation. Controversy erupted after retired Lt. Gen. Anwar Ali Haider, MD of Fauji Foundation, was appointed Chairman. While the government values the deal at 180 billion PKR, critics point out that only 10 billion PKR was paid in cash, leading to allegations of a 'free' takeover by army-linked entities. The government maintains the deal will modernize the carrier. https://hindi.news18.com/world/pakistan-is-pakistan-army-sold-pia-for-free-and-the-pakistan-army-bought-it-for-free-why-the-uproar-ws-l-10617219.html #creator program
