    ‘Won’t go to any private function with protocol to save taxpayer money’, PM Khan

    Announcing on Twitter, PM Khan has decided that to save taxpayers’ money, the prime minister will not go to any ‘private function with protocol and security. He also stated that he is reviewing protocol guidelines for ministers, governors, and PTI Chief Ministers to decide how expenditure can be reduced.

    He also tweeted that in the coming days, his “Cabinet will decide on a comprehensive policy in this regard”.

    “We will put an end to the colonial legacy of pomp & glory used to overwhelm the people.”

    Speaking to the Gwadar business community earlier this week, when visiting Balochistan, the Prime Minister said if it wasn’t for his sincere intentions, he would be spending summers in London and shopping from Harrods since he did not win the election from the province.

    Twitter reacted to the series of tweets, with some supporting the PM’s move and others saying that as the prime minister, Khan needed added security.
