MBS ‘SNUBBED’ PAK PM, CLAIMS REPORT
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, popularly known as MBS, was upset with PM Khan in New York and reportedly “snubbed” him by ordering his private jet to “disembowel” the Pakistani delegation. MBS had given Khan his jet to travel to the US and to attend the UN General Assembly last month.
It was reported that the jet developed a “technical glitch” as Khan was returning to Islamabad on September 28, forcing the Pakistan PM and his delegation to return to New York and then take a commercial flight back to Pakistan.
However, according to a report in the newspaper Friday Times, the Saudi prince recalled the plane as he was unhappy with some of Khan’s actions.
