Did Punjab’s crisis begin with an Rs11 billion jet? ✈️
In February, Punjab bought a Gulfstream G500 for about Rs11 billion. The government said it was for “Air Punjab.” Months later, the CM flew it to London for her daughter’s graduation. The government’s own letter called it a “private foreign tour.” Maryam paid back Rs27 million and said, “None of their visits is personal.”
Meanwhile:
📍 July: Mohsin Naqvi starts pushing for new provinces, which would split Punjab
📍 September: in London, Maryam is asked about new provinces
📍 November: Salik Hussain questions her use of the plane, and Maryam asks why he doesn’t resign
Other provinces fly decades-old helicopters. Ontario’s premier sold his jet within a week of public outcry.
The new provinces debate is decades old. But did this year’s storm start with the jet? 🤔 Tell us below 👇

Maryam vs Salik: who will win? ⚔️
“Why don’t they resign and go home?” That was Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz in Jhelum this week, aimed at federal minister Salik Hussain. He’s her own coalition ally.
It started when Salik said on TV that he hears corruption complaints in Punjab. Maryam answered with a Rs5 billion defamation notice. Then Punjab withdrew his Elite Force security.
And it’s personal. Salik’s brother Shafay sits in Maryam’s own cabinet. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is tied to the Chaudhry family through his in-laws. Khawaja Asif says the attack aims to set up an “alternative arrangement” in Punjab.
