Pakistani celebrities are slamming the government for the petrol price hike. Several celebrities have expressed outrage on Twitter and also criticized people for not taking to the streets against inflation and price hike.
“Pakistaniyon tum 500 rs litre bhi dalwa loge. Afsos! The nations that don’t stand up for themselves, deserve this and worse!” said Farhan Saeed in his tweet. The singer said that nations who don’t stand up for themselves deserve worse than this.
Saeed is known for his takes on social and political issues on Twitter. The singer-turned-actor also commented on the frenzy around Tim Hortons in Lahore. Talking about the overwhelming crowd at the café of the international chain in Lahore, he said: “Thr’s nothing wrong with #TimHortons record-breaking first day, there’s nothing wrong with #psl ceremony, it shows our potential. But yes it shows a disconnect in society, which is not ok. The only reason for this is that #pakistan resilient nation isn’t governed properly.”
