PIA کا 777طیارہ جو ملائیشیا میں روکا گیا یہ طیارہ 12 سال پہلے لیز پر لیا گیا تھا۔کرونا کی وجہ سے یہ طیارہ پچھلے مہینوں میں زیر استعمال نہیں ہو رہا تھا-جیسے پوری دنیا میں کرونا کی وجہ سے ریٹ کم ہوئے PIA بھی انکے ساتھ نئے ریٹ negotiateکر رہے تھے-کیس برطانیہ کی عدالت میں زیرسماعت ہے

In a series of revelation, Gill wrote that the whole issue has nothing to do with Malaysia. Neither the leasing company was from Malaysia nor was there any case going on there. Dr Gill said that the plane was stopped there suddenly after taking a stay order. If the IA did not want to save the country’s money and spent all the money, the critics would be happy as it was in the previous years.
ملائیشیا سے سارے معاملے کا کچھ لینا دینا نہیں تھا۔نہ ہی لیز کرنے والی کمپنی ملائشیا کی تھی نہ ہی وہاں کوئی کیس چل رہا تھا۔اچانک سٹے آرڈر لے کر وہاں طیارہ روک لیا گیا۔اگر PIA ملکی پیسہ نہ بچانا چاہتا اور پورے پیسے لٹاتا رہتا تو تنقید کرنے والے خوش ہوتے جیسے پہلے سالوں میں ہوتا آیا

SAPM added that critics should understand that if your national institution is trying to save money and is fighting a case in the UK and the leasing company takes a stay order in Malaysia, then we should act as Pakistanis. PIA management should be supported, not criticized, because they are trying to save money.
تنقید کرنے والوں کو سمجھنا چاہئیے کہ اگر آپکا قومی ادارہ قومی بچت کی کوشش کر رہا اور برطانیہ میں کیس لڑ رہا ہے اور لیز کرنے والی کمپنی ملائشیا میں سٹے آرڈر لے لیتی ہے تو ہمیں پاکستانی کے طور پر PIA کی مینجمنٹ کو سپورٹ کرنا چاہئیے نہ کہ تنقید۔کیونکہ وہ بچت کرنے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں
