Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad Muhammed Hamza Shafqaat on Tuesday bizarrely reacted to a tweet by United States President Donald Trump where the latter had demanded ‘Law and Order’ in the country amidst mounting public anger over the death of a ‘Black Lives Matter’ demonstrator.
Quoting Trump’s tweet, the Islamabad DC wrote, “Noted. Action will be taken.” While netizens had mixed views on Shafqaat’s sense of humour for mocking Trump, a Pakistani news channel slammed him.

Pakistan’s GTV reporter thought that the Deputy Commissioner’s reaction to Trump’s tweet was offensive and extremely serious. In a news bulletin, the reporter said, “Look at the audacity of the DC of Islamabad, responding to the tweet by American President Donald Trump.”
When sarcasm got lost in translation. Trump tweets "Law & order", DC Islamabad quotes him with "Noted. Action will be taken." GTV thinks it was all extremely serious. pic.twitter.com/2MvRGiOsV3

'Sarcasm lost in translation'
A short video of the news report has been circulating on social media, with netizens slamming the Islamabad DC.
DC Islamabad is trolling Trump? Doesn't he have anything better to do in his official duty? In a Riyasat e Madina Deputy Commissioners are mere trolls who instead of doing their jobs are busy trolling Presidents of other countries. Wow.
