Khawaja Asif inaugurates fake Pizza Hut outlet in Sialkot

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, who was previously trolled for his ignorant answers when the India-Pakistan war broke out, once again made headlines, this time for inaugurating a Pizza Hut outlet which was fake and had ties with the popular American fast food chain.

Various clips and photos of Khawaja Asif went viral on social media along with his companions, who expressed their happiness. Pizza Hut was quick to release a statement and deny any association with the newly inaugurated outlet.

Pizza Hut complained about the incident, and raised the issue to the relevant authorities in Pakistan in order to stop the illegal use the trademark of their brand and deceiving the citizens of Pakistan. One X user wrote "Just think.
If they can lie about an outlet ,
HOW MUCH LIES THEY COULD HAVE TOLD TO THEIR PUBLIC ABOUT SHAMEFUL LOSS OF PAXTAN DURING OPERATION SINDOOR." and another user wrote "If Pakistan’s Defence Minister can’t even authenticate a pizza outlet, how can anyone trust his statements on national security?
Credibility matters, and it’s missing."
