A post of Pakistan Government's Economic Affairs Division went viral on Friday, asking for more loans. In the viral post, it was said that Pakistan faced losses following India's Operation Sindoor and urged the "international partners" for more loans. The timing of the viral post by the Pakistani government's handle is critical as Pakistan is under review by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a fresh $1.3 billion tranche as part of its Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
"Govt of Pakistan appeals to International Partners for more loans after heavy losses inflected by enemy. Amid escalating war and stocks crash, we urge international partners to help de-escalate. Nation urged to remain steadfast. @WorldBank #IndiaPakistanWar #PakistanZindabad," posted Pakistan Government's Economic Affairs Division on X.
India's Press Information Bureau, the Nodal agency for communication, roasted the post for pleading for more loans from the international partners. It posted a viral meme quoting a famous line from a Bollywood film, 'Ye koi tareeka hai bheek maangne ka?' — roughly translating to "Is this any way to beg?'
