Being a Muslim country, Pakistan does not allow the open sale of alcoholic beverages, however, it is available to foreigners staying at certain luxurious hotels. Now, there are reports that the Punjab government is set to approve a summary to allow the sale of beer and liquor at Lahore Airport.
Unicorn Prestige Limited, one of the leading hotels in Lahore, has applied for a liquor license in the name of Royal Swiss International.

I am not even going into the debate of whether it is right or wrong but before you made the comment “mily gi khuli sharab” above, did you even bother reading the last paragraph of this article where it says:
“It is worth mentioning here that under the law of the land, only non-Muslim citizens or non-Muslim foreigners are allowed to purchase and consume liquor from permitted suppliers.”
Sad to know about ProPakistani is now spreading false news – Punjab Government spokesman’s already denied such news. It is time that kids kind of ProPakistani journalists get the news from authentic sources
Clickbait, pathetic post, is this an evening newspaper or what?
