All members of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s delegation, including officers of his staff, paid expenses of their visit to China from their own pocket.
Industrialists included in the delegation as well as Provincial Minister for Law Rana Sanaullah and LTC Chairman Khawaja Ahmad Hasaan bought their plane ticket as well as paid their hotel charges and all other expenses.
When a journalist pointed out this fact, the chief minister said that his ministers and political companions always pay the expenses on their visit abroad and it is better to do so instead of putting the burden on national exchequer. Shahbaz said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government has set the tradition to send talented students on foreign tours by curtailing their own expenditure.
