Over the weekend, there was a lot of speculation on social media about who owned the private jet that former prime minister Imran Khan used to travel to Karachi for the jalsa. Initially, some reports had incorrectly suggested that the private jet was owned by real estate tycoon Bahria Town owner Malik Riaz.

Social media followers appreciated the Company for clarifying its stance. In a statement, Engro explained that while it owned the plane, it was chartered to Princely Jets as a routine practice, and the Company bore no expenses. Some aviation experts also shared that it is a common practice for private planes to be available for rent via Princely Jets without the knowledge of the owner who will be using the aircraft.

Meanwhile, some Twitterati and prominent politicians like Ahsan Iqbal of PML (N) tried to politicize this issue unnecessarily.

However, social media users quickly dismissed these allegations against Engro and what they saw as threats against the corporate sector through needless politicization of the matter.
