Independence Day: Pakistan PM Imran Khan turns profile picture black in protest, netizens ask 'has the electricity gone?'
On the occasion of India's 73rd Independence Day, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan held a black day to stand 'in solidarity' with Kashmiris.
On the occasion of India's 73rd Independence Day, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan held a black day to stand 'in solidarity' with Kashmiris. He had declared a 'Black Day' on August 15 following the revocation of Article 370 in the state by the Centre.
The Prime Minister took the event on social media too and changed his display picture to black. The Army Spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor also changed his display picture to black. He also changed the display image of his personal profile to black.
However, the mission to eclipse India's joyous occasion of celebrating its 72 years of freedom from the colonisers failed miserably. Not only did the 'Black Day' fail to catch on, but India's Independence Day trended Worldwide. Pakistan's 'Black Day' was nowhere close to being seen.
Even as this had happened, Indian and a few Pakistani netizens could not stop trolling the 'selected' Pakistan PM.
