Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered an inquiry into a controversial post by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on its official X handle.

Reportedly, PIA celebrating the resumption of Europe flights after a four-year pause. To celebrate this moment PIA management team shared a post on its X in which the national flag carrier shared an image of a plane heading towards the Eiffel Tower with the French flag appearing in the background with caption “Paris, we are coming today”.

Soon the picture went viral and received widespread backlash due to its resemblance to the 9/11 terror attacks in the United States.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar made the remarks while quoting the country’s chief executive during his address to the upper house of the parliament.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar during the parliamentary session said,“The prime minister has directed [authorities] to investigate who conceived this ad. It is a stupidity.”

In addition to this, the deputy prime minister expressed concern over the caption of the post.
