Pakistan’s election commission has halted the caretaker government’s plans to privatise loss-making national carrier Pakistan International Airlines, the Dawn newspaper reported on Monday, citing sources.
The election panel in a recent letter to the cabinet secretary, reminded the caretaker government of its role and limitations and sought all relevant documents, the report said.
The panel has also asked the government to “refrain from taking any further steps including signing of an agreement” about the privatisation of PIA or its entities, Dawn reported.
The election panel and the government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
