🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: Both President Asif Zardari and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz are currently in London—yet their modes of travel could not be more different. The President is flying commercial, while the Chief Minister is using a private jet funded by Pakistani taxpayers. Though neither leader is morally superior to the other, this stark contrast underscores the establishment’s preferential treatment of Punjab, revealing a deeper institutional bias within Pakistan's power structure.
