ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) took the orders of Prime Minister Imran Khan very lightly as it provided a complete protocol to President Mamnoon Hussain and his relatives by accommodating them in the business class when they had economy class tickets, a local media outlet reported on Sunday.

A few days ago, President Mamnoon Hussain, along with his five associates, travelled to London from Islamabad in PK-785 and after a five-day long stay, they came back via PK-786.

On the directives of the secretariat manager of PIA CEO, the president was given complete protocol at the airport. Moreover, the PIA officer allegedly contacted the PIA’s London administration to upgrade the economy class seats of President Mamnoon and his family.

It is pertinent to mention that Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced the elimination of VIP culture from the country and has vowed to not take any protocols himself while warning all the top government officials to refrain using protocols.
