Former Finance Minister Miftah Ismail tells what will he do after resigning from finance ministry and following his return to Karachi.
A Twitter user had asked him what restaurant he will be going to after returning to Karachi. “Hi @MiftahIsmail what is the first restaurant you are hitting when you go back to Karachi?,” asked a Twitter user named Farrukh J Abbasi.
Responding to his tweet, Miftah Ismail named several famous restaurants and eateries in Karachi. “I am going to visit Zahid, Idris & Javed Nihari houses, Al-Kebab, Ghaffar and Meerut Kebab, & Gola at Dhoraji. Many choices, fortunately,” said Miftah Ismail in his tweet.
The tweet of Miftah Ismail garnered mixed responses on social media. Some slammed him for making a plan to dine out while allegedly ruining the economy and exacerbating the economic crisis of Pakistan.
Other Twitter users asked to arrange a meet-up with Miftah Ismail at one of the restaurants mentioned by Miftah Ismail. Ishaq Dar has replaced Miftah Ismail as the new finance minister of Pakistan.
