The government has asked Pakistanis to reduce their consumption of tea.
Pakistan, mired in economic crisis, is struggling to find a way out.
In this context, Asan Iqbal, the country’s Minister of Planning and Enforcement, appealed to the people via video to help cut down on one cup of tea daily to protect the country’s economy.
Within minutes of the minister’s request, bloggers began retaliating on social media, mocking and criticizing the government’s inability.
