Pak Punjab Chief Minister, Governor at loggerheads over bullet-proof Mercedes
May 14th, 2010 - 5:01 pm ICT by ANILahore, May 14 (ANI): Pakistan’s Punjab province’ Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has rejected to approve purchasing of a new bullet-proof Mercedes Benz for Governor Salman Taseer citing austerity measures being adopted by the provincial government to cut down the expenses.
However, a special supplementary grant has been created to finance the 25 million rupees car for the governor, which has reportedly angered Shahbaz.
Shahbaz’s denial to approve the purchase of the car has also infuriated Taseer, who suggested the Chief Minister to sell off his collection of bullet-proof cars worth millions, The News reports. (ANI)
