Arrival of ‘Israeli aircraft’ in Islamabad: Minister responds as Ahsan Iqbal seeks explanation

ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – A tweet from a Israeli journalist that an aircraft flew from Tel Aviv to Islamabad has  sparked a storm of rumors on social media.

the  plane was not registered in Israel and it actually flew from Amman.

 Avi Scharf, editor of Israeli newspaper Haretz who first tweeted about the alleged arrival of the aircraft, said the plane did not  directly fly from the Israeli capital into Islamabad.

He, however  spoke of trick the  pilot  allegedly may have used  to make it look like a flight from Amman-Islamabad instead of a Tel Aviv-Islamabad flight.

after taking off from Israel the plane landed in Amman and after a gap of 5 minutes it took off for Islamabad.

Scharf claimed plane visited Islamabad on October 24.

PMLN leader Ahsan Iqbal took to Twitter and sought explanation from the government.

Responding to Iqbal, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry asked him not to worry as Pakistan was in the safe hands.

“The fact is that neither Imran is a Nawaz Sharif nor he has a fake Aristotle like you in his cabinet. We will neither hold secret talks with Modi nor Israel,” he wrote in Urdu.

The minister, however, did not respond to the rumors that have been doing the rounds  on social media.
