Following the Pahalgam massacre, where 26 individuals were tragically killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists, global reactions were predictable with India condemning, Pakistan denying, and the West responding ambiguously. However, a notable shift occurred this time. The most poignant reactions did not originate from New Delhi or Washington, but from ordinary Pakistanis who chose not to defend their government but to mock it. On various social media platforms, instead of directing anger towards India, they chose to ridicule their own country’s issues such as power outages, fuel scarcities, and economic downturn. In a nation where humor seems to be the only solace, the sorrow from the tragedy transformed into satirical commentary on the country’s challenges. Despite the flickering lights due to power cuts, the wit and humor in their responses remained sharp and consistent.
