ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Measure aims at saving taxpayer money and reducing public incovenience, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Tuesday announced he will not go any private function with protocol and security.

In a tweet, the prime minister said, "To save taxpayer money and avoid inconvenience to the public I will not be going to any private function with protocol and security."
