Islamabad: Secretary for defence production told special committee of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that no proposal was under consideration to purchase alternative air crafts in place of those which were destroyed in Mehran Base attack and it was impossible to acquire Orion plans in the prevailing tense ties between Pakistan and US.
Committee met in Islamabad on Tuesday in parliament house under Zahid Hamid to review audit objections pertaining to ministry for defence production.
Officials of ministry for defence production looked ignorant that Pakistan Ordinance Factory was either running in loss or profit. When Committee members asked question from the officers of POF about its losses or profit but no one among them could give reply.
The officers told government provided only funds to POF and it manufactured defence related equipment. This was not basically a business concern, they stated.
