Punjab is a big province; it has huge resources [to buy such a plane],&#8221; Sanaullah said while speaking during a Senate session on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker further stressed that the aeroplane replaces the existing jet after 25 to 30 years, and will further last 30 to 40 years, and is an asset of the Punjab government.<\/p>\n<p>The senator&#8217;s remarks come against the backdrop of political hullabaloo revolving around the procurement of a luxury Gulfstream business jet worth $38-42 million (around Rs11 billion) by the CM Maryam-led Punjab government.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase has prompted a strong reaction from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which has alleged that the luxury jet is meant exclusively for the CM&#8217;s personal use.<\/p>\n<p>However, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari, as reported by <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The News<\/span>, has said that the provincial government plans to establish a fleet for &#8220;Air Punjab,&#8221; comprising various types of aircraft. <\/p>\n<p>The minister noted that some planes are being purchased while others will be acquired on lease, adding that this jet is part of that broader initiative.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            setTimeout(function(){\n                var scriptElement=document.createElement('script');\n
