Amid Pakistan’s challenging economic situation, Rana Sanaullah, the Advisor to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for inter-provincial communication, who is part of the Pakistani delegation at the Paris Olympics, is being criticized for taking a lavish trip to Paris with his family.
The commotion started when videos and photos of Rana Sanaullah and his family surfaced on social media, depicting them enjoying a delightful boat trip on the Seine River and leisurely wandering through the charming green areas of Paris.
Some Pakistani social media users are raising concerns about whether the expenses for the PM’s adviser’s trip to Paris are being covered by taxpayers, particularly given the country’s economic challenges.
It is not clear whether he is using public funds to attend the Paris Olympics or if he is personally financing his family’s trip.
A recent article in Dawn newspaper disclosed that 7 Pakistani athletes were accompanied by 11 officials to the Paris Olympics, but Rana Sanaullah was not mentioned in the list. This has sparked inquiries into the intent and funding of his travel.
Amid Pakistan’s economic uncertainty, there are calls for accountability following Rana Sanaullah’s trip to Paris. The government needs to clarify if public funds were used for this trip, and Rana Sanaullah should explain his decision to vacation in Paris during Pakistan’s economic challenges.
