Celebrities Vote Iqrarul Hassan after Twitterati Demand Apology over his Tweets

Iqrar-ul-Hassan’s profuse controversy is rebuffed by celebrities of Pakistan. The anchor’s tweets were considered offensive by the public, a few of them crossed the threshold and called him a traitor. Television host Syed Iqrarul Hassan’s claim to fame is his show Sar-e-Aam but over the weekend, he was trending for a contradistinctive reason. Celebrities Vote Iqrarul Hassan after Twitterati Demand Apology over his Tweets.

Iqrar-ul-Hassan stuck in a war of words

Read of his tweets is,

“India vs Pakistan. We are not even sure that we ordered the vaccine or not, banana to door ki baat (making it is another story). Muqabla kerna hai to taleem main kerain, science main kerain, khail main kerain, infrastructure main kerain, economy main kerain, technology main kerain … aur such ka samna kerain (If you want to compete, do it based on education, science, sports, infrastructure, economy, technology … and face the truth).”

He then shared photos of public transportation in Pakistan and India alongside. Showing Pakistan’s commuting system lamentable. The anchor further commenced comparing Pakistani passport and rupee to other countries, especially Pakistan’s South Asian counterparts. And we think there is nothing bad to go for comparison when your country is sworn to your patriotism.

His concluding lines were,

“Unfortunately, the Pakistani passport holds only as much value as one from Somalia or Afghanistan. The rupee is also at 1.90 compared to the Bangladeshi takka, and 2.20 compared to the Indian rupee. May God give us the ability to turn Pakistan into the true meaning of ‘zindabad’.”

بدقسمتی سے ہمارا پاسپورٹ افغانستان اور صومالیہ کے درجے پر ہے، روپیہ بنگلہ دیشی “ٹکے” کے مقابلے ایک روپے نوے پیسے اور بھارتی روپیہ دو روپے بیس پیسے ہے، ہم محنت کرنے، مقابلہ کرنے کی بجائے خود کو پھنے خان سمجھتے ہیں۔ اللہ ہمیں پاکستان کو صحیح معنوں میں “زندہ باد” بنانے کی توفیق دے pic.twitter.com/uf9wvEknwk

“We can’t judge his love and devotion towards his country by a post; it’s just his wish to see a better transportation system for his people and his own country. Nothing wrong with that. Stay strong.”
