Pakistan Finance Minister trolled for saying Allah is responsible for country’s prosperity
The senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said he is confident that Pakistan would progress as it was formed in the name of Islam.

Where on one hand Pakistan is drowning in the pit of poverty, but still on the core of it, it’s ministers are not desisting from rhetoric. The latest case is that of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar who has started playing the religious card to reduce the resentment of the people of the country.
Pakistan is the only country founded in the name of Islam and Allah is responsible for its development and prosperity, said Pakistan Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said on Friday, as the cash-strapped country faced a serious payment crunch.
If Allah can create then he will also protect
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Green Line Express train service, the senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said he is confident that Pakistan would progress as it was formed in the name of Islam. Dar said that if Allah can create Pakistan, he can also protect, develop and prosper it. The Finance Minister added that they are trying their best to improve the condition of Pakistan under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The politician is being severely trolled on social media for his bizarre statement. While some reminded him his oath, rest wrote that god will only help the people if the people in power will help themselves.
Moreover, Dar didn’t stop there, holding Pakistan’s present plight responsible for the drama that started five years ago, Ishaq Dar said that the people of Pakistan are still suffering. He said before this drama, Pakistan’s economy was in good condition during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure of 2013-17.
Pakistan was on the path of progress under Nawaz’s rule, Dar
Dar said that Pakistan was on the path of progress under Nawaz’s rule but it was derailed. People can see the devastation the country has faced in the last five years. In the absence of foreign exchange, Pakistan is left with no currency to pay even for the purchase of essential commodities. To deal with this problem, he is looking for an economic package from several institutions including the International Monetary Fund.

Cabin crew members on SkyWest airplane fight over first class seat, flight delays by an hour

Seems like aviation atrocities are not going to end anytime soon. Recently, a SkyWest flight got delayed for an hour after a clash broke out between two flight attendants.
Reports said the incident happened on March 12 when the flight was about to take off from Los Angeles to Houston. A video, now-deleted, was shared by a passenger, Ashley Brewer wherein a male flight attendant was seen arguing with his woman colleague after a disagreement.
Reportedly, a woman passenger requested the male flight attendant if she could exchange seats with a person in the economy to sit beside her husband during the journey. The male attendant agreed, however, his colleague refused.
This disagreement triggered the crew members to bicker about the airline’s rules and regulations. Things turned ugly when the female flight attendant decided to leave the aircraft. Further, the gate crew handled the situation and replaced both crew members.
