In a major embarrassment for the terror-sponsoring nation of Pakistan, its own diplomats have risen in revolt against the Imran Khan-led rubberstamp government. A development has exposed Pakistan’s fiscal health like never before, this time on Twitter. The official Twitter handle of Pakistan Embassy Serbia on Friday posted a public message on the social media platform asking Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan about for how long his government expects the government officials to remain silent when they have not been paid for the last three months. The tweet was up on Twitter for about 90 minutes before eventually being deleted. As expected, Pakistan has said the account was hacked.
Pakistan’s embassy in Serbia tweeted, “With inflation breaking all previous records, how long do you expect Imran Khan that we government official(s) will remain silent and keep working for you without been paid for past 3 months and our children been forced out of school due to non-payment of fees. Is this naya (new) Pakistan?” In the following tweet, the diplomat who put out the embarrassing thread said, “I am sorry, Imran Khan, am not left with another option.” The tweet was accompanied by a parody music video of Imran Khan saying, “aapne ghabrana nahi hai”.
On a serious note, looks like an ISI job. Perhaps they've had enough of the playboy. For this to stay up this long, the funny video – chances are this is the ISI turning Imran Khan into a non-performing asset more than he already is. https://t.co/vfeFAZLpa6

Diplomats Denied Salaries While Imran Khan Makes Big Cash Illegally
It has now been established that Pakistan is not paying its diplomats, as the Islamist nation stares at an imminent collapse and massive economic distress. Mind you, Imran Khan is having the time of his life. Those in power in the country are preparing for the economic apocalypse that is about to come, which is why they are filling their own coffers to the brim. A massive scam was recently unearthed in Pakistan, and it has severely shattered the bankrupt country’s ability to beg for more bailouts from the International Monetary Fund. The scam was to the tune of PKR 40 billion and came out of Imran Khan’s Covid-relief package.

Pakistan’s Economic Misery
The Islamist nation’s economy, frankly, is in the toilet. The forex situation of Pakistan has been dismal for the last few months and declined from 19.2 billion dollars to 17.2 billion dollars in the last month. Pakistan is going through a torrid time on the economic front. The sky-high inflation, owing to depreciation in the value of the Pakistani rupee and the new tax policies implemented by the government has led to inflation rates crossing the 9 per cent mark in September.
The Wholesale Price Index (WPI), which captures prices in the wholesale market, also rose sharply by 19.6 per cent in September compared to 4.3 per cent in the same month a year ago. According to the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, about 39 per cent of Pakistanis live in poverty and the rising inflation could have a catastrophic effect on them. Similarly, the value of the Pakistani rupee has consistently declined over the last few weeks.
It seems the only stable job one can secure in Pakistan, with an uninterrupted flow of cash, is that of a terrorist. For Pakistan, nothing else really seems to matter. While Pakistani diplomats around the world are deprived of their salaries and as they struggle to feed their families, terrorists continue to lead luxurious life. Perhaps that is the aim of Pakistan after all – to attract more and more people from different walks of life into becoming gun-wielding monkeys.
