According to details, in a fulfillment of a promise made by PM Imran Khan, the auction of 102 luxury vehicles will take place at the PM House.
It is pertinent to mention that 27 luxury vehicles are bullet proof.
Earlier on September 1, the federal government decided to immediately put a fleet of government cars for auction following Imran Khan’s austerity policy. Sources mentioned that the government collectively sent 33 vehicles out on auction advertisement to reduce public expenditure from the government’s end.
The elite auction is carrying eight luxury BMW cars and four recent models of Mercedes Benz vehicles in its ad, including 16 Toyota Corolla, three Suzuki and one HTV vehicle. The sources added that the remaining cars have been spared under control of the Cabinet for welcoming foreign guests.
In the wake of Khan’s austerity drive, he is already facing criticism for using a helicopter to commute to work daily, from his residence in Bani Gala to the PM’s Secretariat. Taking to rescue, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf parliamentarian Ali Muhammad Khan listed the benefits of using the helicopter.
He pointed out that using one helicopter for three minutes ends up being cheaper than taking out five to seven vehicles required for the PM’s on-road security.
