ISLAMABAD – The daughter of Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari has embroiled into another controversy with her comments on Pakistan Day parade preparations.
Regardless of the significance of the Pakistan Day parade, Imaan Zainab Mazari took to Twitter and wrote, “Jets constantly flying in Islamabad in preparation of March 23 are not only a huge waste of money but a constant source of noise pollution and anxiety. People don’t have food on the table but yes, let’s spend lots of money on this exercise which serves no purpose whatsoever….”

People dont have food on the table but yes, let's spend lots of money on this exercise which serves no purpose whatsoever….

Soon after she posted the tweet, netizens seem enraged with her stance on Pakistan Armed Forces drills. Here are some of the reactions to her tweet:
Doing Aurat March do the same for some portion of masses! There is noise pollution due to use of speakers as well. Maybe we should stop that as well.
Watching the cringe mentality and dance moves of people participating also causes anxiety

اور پھر مزاری کے گھر کے اوپر سے گزرتے ہوئے پائلٹ زیادہ ریس ریتے ہوئے ہارن بھی بجاتا ہے
btw if we look at performance of minister of human rights, her ministry is also waste of money

Flying of jets causes "anxiety" to you? Burgers!
And "serves no purpose"?? Well its a way of showcasing a country's might to the world, which happens almost everywhere. Recent examples include indian republic day parade & Sri lanka airforce show
