LHC seeks financial details of PM Nawaz's New York trip
During the hearing of a petition against PM's foreign trip, the petitioner said the premier was hurting the country's treasury by taking family members as well as servants on his international trips.
The petitioner further said that PM Nawaz was also promoting his private business during his foreign trips.
The LHC, after listening to the petitioner's stance, asked the federal government to submit a reply by November 6.
PM Nawaz had visited New York to attend the annual session of UN General Assembly.

@Ranjha: If NS is overspending , IK is committing outright corruption .
Tareen is using his influence on IK to get business concessions in KPK . This far more serious that's political gimmickry around PM's trip to UN.
@Blithe:
Dude, do you know the difference between public and private funds? The rigged PM flies on our tax receipts, not Imran. We don't care who pays for his jets--we want hesab for our taxes.
This is silly. It'll come in the Foreign Office financials .
That's more intriguing is who pays for the helicopter and jets for IK. Is it Tareen? If so what's the cost of this? Business concessions in KPK? If so, the people of KPK are paying for these joy rides.
a disgraceful despicable disgusting man who is always promoting family business. ..ppl like ch alla daad make me sick by defending the indefensible shame on you!
I work at Best Western. And my management will be too glad to host PM Nawaz Sharif next time. All expenses will be on the house!
Please do not get excited. our Nawz is a rich man He will pay out of his pocket. every one will shut up. He is off shore banking and his finance minister will take care off of this small matter.
David Cameron lives in a room in British embassy when he is in the US.
is there a guideline/procedure that determines how much can be spent? After producing the expense report, what can court do next?
Nawaz Sharif should stay in a lodge from now on.
i vividly remember a former PM of Norway Mrs .Bruntland flying to attend such a meeting accompanied by just an adviser. She travelled economy class and put up with the country,s Ambassdor in New York.
Why given time till 6 Nov? So that govt can make fake bills etc?
Lets see how this is pursued, maybe by he end of the week it would all be forgotten and then as three idiot said "ALL IS WELL"
It is all about image! Not many people in USA are aware of the fact that Pakistan is a poor country living on handouts. USA is not New York alone. The PM has attended the biggest "TEA PARTY" of heads of states who gather annually to moan and groan and get a lot of publicity back at home. The outcome of such a expensive event -----i leave it to your imagination. The PM needed a break----- after all he carries all the burdens of being nuclear!
Why just this one trip, if the damage done through thievery then let's have a full and detailed audit of all foreign trips, each and every single one of them including full disclosure about who all accompanied the PM and in what capacity and why. Let's do it properly.
The Honble Court +++++++++++++++ Total cost USD 800000 Attendance at UNGA 20 COst per attendant USD 40000
This looks like drama for ' public consumption '..........ask for details of his assets abroad, if you must.
Nawaz stayed in the most expensive hotel in the city and one of the most expensive hotels in the world. Apparently $8000/ per night were spent on the hotel while people were suffering from floods back home in Pakistan. So people you should realize where your tax money is going.
Behind this man, there is the Afghanistan Flag! Just wondering if he is a pro Afghanistan.
