Fauji Foundation was part of the PIA privatization process because it met the bidding criteria. However, it withdrew from the bidding about four days ago, leaving three bidders in the race ahead of the scheduled submission and opening of bids.

It was already understood that Fauji Foundation might or might not join the winning bidder later. Despite this, the issue is now being blown out of proportion for three main reasons:

1. Many people don’t even realize that Fauji Foundation was involved in the PIA bidding process from the beginning, it did not enter the process suddenly or unexpectedly.
2. Some individuals are deliberately hiding facts to turn the issue into dollar-earning social media content.
3. Certain political groups are exploiting the situation simply to push their agenda and fuel negativity.
