Almost as soon as pictures of PM Nawaz Sharif in the ICU were made public, people started noticing something different. While many had been critical, even unnecessarily abusive at times, of his scheduled surgery, no one expected it to turn into a ‘HairGate’.
Here’s how Pakistanis have been reacting:
Being the controversy loving nation that we are, people started speculating about the Prime Minister’s seemingly ‘fuller’ hair.
Could some doctor explain the bypass that helps grow hair?#ILaughWhen #DramaOfFakeSurgery #PMLN pic.twitter.com/nnnJ3eq78c

Well the man was sleeping (sort of) during surgery. We can give him the benefit of laying.
This guy even questioned London’s existence as the hub of fake surgeries
Apparently, people think all the fake procedures happen in London #Malala #DramaOfFakeSurgery

Maryam Sharif was even called out for being the ‘show runner’ of this HairGate
Yeah, we’re calling it HairGate.

This guy probably wants to become a Pakistani politician

Interesting how he saw Maryam Sharif’s “solid face” via her tweets.
And then Shahbaz Sharif was dragged into this hairy mess

Yes, because a man changing his tie in a 4 hour window totally means he’s lying about heart bypass surgery.
This guy went into the details of surgery to prove it was fake.
#DramaOfFakeSurgery In case of open-heart surgery, patient can't travel by plane for six months. How can our PM be back in PK in 15 days?"

Too many shits given bro.
But the most interesting feedback was suggestions for Prime Minister Sharif to have an alternative career choice once he retires
That is if he retires. And that is a very big IF.

With his new hair, he’ll do really well at Star Plus
Pakistan awaits the return of their Prime Minister and his new set of hair healthier heart.
