Following the tragic Pahalgam massacre in which 26 individuals fell victim to Pakistan-backed terrorists, the global reaction unfolded predictably, with India issuing condemnation, Pakistan refuting allegations, and Western nations offering muted responses. However, a noteworthy shift occurred as ordinary Pakistanis took center stage, opting not to defend their government but instead to openly mock it. Across social media platforms, rather than directing their ire towards India, citizens of Pakistan chose to satirize their country’s chronic issues such as power outages, fuel scarcities, and economic turmoil. In a nation where humor serves as a coping mechanism in the face of adversity, the aftermath of the tragedy morphed into a wave of satirical commentary on the state of affairs. Despite the flickering lights symbolizing instability, the wit and humor in the Pakistani response remained unwavering, with each punchline hitting its mark.
