The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday sought a reply from the federal government over the closure of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) owned Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
The plea against the closure of PIA’s iconic hotel was heard by Justice Aamir Farooq. At the beginning of the hearing, the counsel of the complainant, Advocate Tariq Asad stated that the government has planned to transform hotel into apartments and offices.”Roosevelt Hotel has its traditional importance and the transformation will cost more to the government.” He further stated that US President Donald Trump has also shown his interest in buying the hotel.
Justice Aamir Farooq directed the assistant attorney general of Pakistan to inform the court about the policy of the federal government on the Roosevelt Hotel after consultation.
