"Google Master" told Fawad Chaudhry the Expenses of helicopter 55 Rs per KM

ISLAMABAD:Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said Tuesday he had "used Google to calculate" the per kilometre cost of Prime Minister Imran Khan's commute between his official accommodation and private Bani Gala residence.

Chaudhry said so in response to some journalists' queries at a press conference he was addressing after the meeting of federal cabinet in Islamabad.

A journalist had asked him for his comment on whether Khan's use of ahelicopter was part of "VIP culture".

Afterexplaining that he had used Google to look for the cost of using ahelicopter for the PM's commute, he suggested the newsmen look for it themselves using the search engine.

Imran Khan is the prime minister; he is not just the chairman of the PTI. He is the prime minister of Pakistan," Chaudhry stressed and asked, rhetorically, if people would like the premier to travel in taxis.

During his appearance on a TV show a day earlier, Chaudhry had defended Khan's use of chopper, saying it only costed Rs55 per kilometre.

The statement has since drawn massive derision from users on social networking platforms, who have been sharing memes to mock the claim.
