I’m sure you all know about Zartaj Gul by now. There’s been more than a few instances where she’s been in hot water. I mean, who could forget about the time when she thanked Imran Khan for the rain and snow Pakistan experienced back in March, or when she basically did sifaarish for her sister, so she could become director of the National Counter Terrorism Authority, or even super recently, when she thanked Amitabh Bachchan for praising Pakistan, but actually his account got hacked.
Recently Minister Zartaj Gul got in a Twitter feud with Bakhtawar Zardari
It all started when Zartaj Gul posted a picture of Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Bilawal and Altaf Hussain – all in tears.

The Minister of State for Climate Change was likely referring to Imran Khan’s famous speech in which he vowed to make opposition leaders cry. And as you can imagine, it got quite a bit of backlash.
Bakhtawar responded to Zartaj Gul but later deleted her tweet
Bakhtawar snapped saying, “children have a higher IQ than you” and even brought Zartaj’s “dismissed” sister into it. But Zartaj Gul shot right back with “console your sobbing sisters” due to the fact that Bakhtawar’s father, Zardari has recently been imprisoned.
Even though she deleted her tweet once, she didn’t step down again, and continued pressing on
And even went as far as to say “give yourself a thapki, on the face”. OUCH. But of course, Zartaj kept using the “papa in jail” card and even called Bakhtawar’s father “Papa Disorientated Dentonic”. Eh, low-blow to be honest.
Many people came out in support of Bakhtawar
They’re calling Zartaj Gul out for using pictures of people mourning.

Madame Minister – please see the context in which these pictures were taken. Idk why you keep tweeting! Incompetence is one thing, insensitivity another

Others even reminded Ms. Zartaj Gul about the whole scandal about appointing her own sister…

I mean, the whole twitter spat is immature, but none the less entertaining when powerful people get into petty fights like us ordinary folks.
That’s all we have for now, if anything else happens, we’ll be sure to update you.
