Also on Tuesday (yesterday), a resident of Gujranwala had set his US dollars on fire after the continuous devaluation of rupee in Interbank and open market, as reported by a local TV channel.
The frustrated resident, Amjad had set the dollars he possessed on fire to initiate a movement to stabilise Pakistani rupee against the greenback.
“I’m setting my dollars ablaze with an aim to stabilise the country’s economy”, shared Amjad during his talk to the media correspondent.
He urged masses to do the same and avoid trading in the US dollar to strengthen Pakistani rupee.
