ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Wednesday strongly opposed the caretaker government’s plan to privatise national assets such as Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM).

“Institutions like PIA and Steel Mills are assets of the motherland, and PPP has always opposed the privatisation of PIA and will continue to do so,” PPP’s information secretary Faisal Karim Kundi said in a statement.
