Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MNA Dr Nafisa Shah while speaking in the National Assembly on a point of order alleged that the minister through his false statement had caused a daily loss of Rs500 million to the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and removal of about 200 pilots from various airlines and damaged the “national prestige” at the international level.
“Various aviation agencies of the world have already sent letters to us. Tomorrow, our air space can be handed over to some other country. This is treason,” Dr Shah said while asking the minister to resign after the letter written by CAA Director General Hassan Nasir Jamy to a high-ranking aviation official of Oman, clarifying that all pilot licences issued by the CAA were “genuine and validly issued” and “none of the licences are fake”.
“If the minister is speaking the truth then the CAA DG should resign. But if the DG’s letter is stating the correct position, then the minister will have to go,” Dr Shah said at a time when the minister was not present in the house.
