Almost Every Trend on Pakistani Twitter is About PTI’s Cabinet Reshuffle [Reactions]

Following a major reshuffle in Federal Cabinet by Prime Minister Imran Khan, which has seen a number of new faces taking up new roles, Twitter is swarmed with reactions on the new appointments.

Almost all the Twitter trends today are focused on the changes at the top of the ladder in PTI’s incumbent government.

These are the top Twitter trends for today in Pakistan:

• #WeLoveAsadUmer
• #IjazShah
• #CabinetReshuffle
• Hafeez Sheikh
• Azam Swati
• Fawad Chaudhry
• Firdous Ashiq Awan
• #WeStandWithKhan
• #تباہی_کاکریڈٹ_نیازی_کو

While most of the people are bashing the government for not giving enough time to Asad Umar as Finance Minister, others are coming out in support of the change, saying that the reshuffle is the right step. However, most of the new portfolio holders are not being well-received by the Twitterati as Imran Khan’s decision is being criticized widely.

Let’s have a look at some of the tweets circulating on Twitter:

Asad Umar sitting at press conf ALONE was so symbolic of his state in PTI.
No group; no vested interest; no biradri; no mafia; no lackies; no Team XYZ.
Just pure unadulterated elegance, sincerity, hard work, passion and unconditional love from Insafians#WeStandWithKhan pic.twitter.com/M2tMcdl9ZX

Who is new Interior Minister Ijaz Shah?
Ijaz Shah is ex-Army, ex-IB , ex-ISI. 1971 war veteran. (IB=Intelligence Bureau, ISI=Inter-Services Intelligence)
A spy and Army man known for being most anti Human rights and anti constitution person among all pawns.
