Lack of water at Karachi airport washrooms? Pakistani actor Hina Bayat slams authorities in viral video
Screengrab from viral video (Courtesy: Instagram) In a video which has gone viral on social media, Pakistani actor Hina Bayat highlighted the issue of lack water at Pakistan's busiest Jinnah International Airport, in the country's largest city, Karachi. In the video, Bayat said, "Today is Youm-e-Takbir. I am standing here at Karachi International Airport, and on a day when we should be celebrating Pakistan's achievements, I see that there is no water in any of the washrooms here. People want to perform prayers, parents are taking their children to the restroom — but there is no water." Pakistan celebrates Youm-e-Takbir (the day of greatness) as a national day to commemorate the nuclear tests it conducted on May 28 and 30, 1998. While Bayat emphasized that her country should celebrate its "achievements" on Youm-e-Takbir, she also drew attention to the "alarming situation" at the airport. "Why have our airports, our institutions, and our systems deteriorated so much? And no one is willing to admit these are mistakes which need to be fixed. So many new projects are being launched, new trains are being discussed — but the old systems, like availability of water in the washrooms of an international airport, are being ignored. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chegou o Alarme que afasta rapidamente os Ladrões Verisure Ver oferta Undo It's truly unfortunate," she added. The video went viral on Indian social media, as it comes in the backdrop of India putting in abeyance the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan. Putting the water agreement in abeyance is among several diplomatic and military steps taken by India in retaliation to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. On April 22, Pakistan-backed terrorists shot dead 26 men, including 25 tourists and a local, in Pahalgam.

Minister highlights importance of Youm-e-Takbir
LAHORE: Punjab Local Government Minister Zeeshan Rafique on Wednesday said that the importance of Youm-e-Takbir has increased today in the context of recent Operation Bunyanun Marsus; former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif shattered India's dream of becoming the regional policeman and gave a befitting reply to the enemy by carrying out nuclear explosions. In a message on Youm-e-Takbir, he averred that the nuclear explosions of May 28 proved to be instrumental in making Pakistan's defence invincible. 'Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif continued the same policy and took bold decisions; as a result of this policy, the Pakistani Army gave a befitting reply to the enemy's aggression on May 10, and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir's war strategy has become a golden chapter in history,' he added. Rafique said that as a result, the enemy was forced to reconsider, and India's war ambitions began to look for an escape route. He acknowledged that all three branches of the armed forces protected the motherland. 'Allah Almighty bestowed Pakistan with grace and respect internationally in the 'Marka-e-Haq', while the enemy was badly humiliated and disgraced on every front,' he added. He continued that the people stood with the Pakistani forces after seeing the threat to their country. "It has been proven that strong defence is indispensable for peace. In the future, the enemy will think twice before attempting to challenge Pakistan,' he added. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
