Users lamented Hayat for his lack of awareness and questioning his suitability for the position. Pakistan’s national animal, the Markhor, is a well-known symbol of the country, making Hayat’s inability to answer the question particularly concerning to many.
Despite the backlash, Hayat has been active in cracking down on corruption in the education system. He has been visiting examination centers to address issues like cheating, bribery, and manipulation of exam results by private institutions. His efforts have led to public school students securing top positions in recent matriculation exams.
The video has raised concerns about the competence of public officials, particularly those responsible for key sectors like education, and has reignited debates on the importance of knowledge and accountability in leadership.
