Asad Umar & Company Sit Down to Eat Daal and People Are Going Crazy!

Finance Minister Asad Umar is known for his gentle and humble nature. Rain or shine, he remains cool as a cucumber and deals with all the situations in a calm manner.

Not only his friends, but foes also appreciate his down to earth nature. A recent example of his humility was seen when the federal minister along with State Minister for Revenue, Hammad Azhar, stopped at a local restaurant to enjoy his favorite daal.

According to details, the minister and his team were on their way back from the visit of Sialkot’s Chambers of Commerce when they stopped at a local restaurant at GT Road.

A video shared on Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) official Twitter handle, shows the ministers enjoying their meal and people are coming over for handshakes and selfies.

Not even once did Asad Umar frown or turned down any request and this is what won many’s hearts on the internet.

This was his fifth meeting with the business communities of various cities in five months. Previously, he has engaged with the business communities of Lahore, Karachi, Quetta, and Faisalabad to take them into confidence for economic reforms – something his predecessor from PMLN govt couldn’t ever do in 5 yrs.

Here’s is how people reacted to the video:

غور کرو یے وفاقی وُزرا ہیں کوئ عام درباری نہیں۔ نا پروٹوکول نا ریسٹورینٹ خالی کروایا، نا کھابے منگواے۔ اے اللہ ان کی صحت و زندگی میں خیر و برکت فرما۔ امین۔

But few people thought that was not doing enough for the economy and that this was merely a gimmick to attract ‘cheap publicity.’

But, why?

I don’t really understand the urge or reason for such post ?

تھوڑے بڑے ہو جاؤ اب بس کر دو ہمیں پتہ چل گیا ہے کہ آپ لوگ سادے ہو اور دال روٹی کھا لیتے ہو۔ کام پر دھیان دو
