The increased influence of Dollar in Pakistanis’ everyday life and the recent bailout package with the IMF has sparked a wave of debate not just in our usual conversations but on social media as well.
With prices of everyday commodities skyrocketing with the reason being told as ‘Dollar’ fluctuation, the masses have now started a campaign asking for a boycott of the imported items.
The hashtag #BoycottDollar is trending on Twitter and Pakistanis are urging their fellows to use #MadeinPakistan items to decrease our dependence on the US dollar.
Let’s hear to what people are saying on social media:
#BoycottDollar Time Is Near When $ Will Fall Down Too .. Right Now PKR Is In A FIX And Will Remain Unless Ruthless Accountability Across Board & Strict Measures Are Taken To Control These Mafia's And Blackmailers
Eventually Geo-Politics Will Have Its Impact On $.

Another reason why.
Why should we Buy Local Products? Local business owners often sell local products, which helps preserve the community's identity and also creates more jobs locally and we shuld #boycottdollar to value our PKR pic.twitter.com/MezgBck7AN

Personally, i am not idiot and know the value of dollar !
Write an article on Mona Hawa. Kuwaiti born Palestine who wrote an article on fake holo cast. Come on PP staff show us your spine.
HTV made a video on it
watch?v=TOVkVU9WksI
selling dollars to the open market like some person did in the picture above will not help pakistan. Someone else will buy them
They are Boycotting but on Twitter and Facebook
Bunch of idiot’s who dont know what are the problems causing all this mess. They just want to write on twitter something they not even know about Pakistani ppl will never be able to get better
Yes it’s the time to show that we are united and can go to any length including dumping dollars
CIA is the world’s biggest terrorist organization. Start with that.
US Govt. declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as terrorist but the truth is that US Army and CIA are the world’s biggest terrorist organization as you correctly said it yourself.
Soon pak rupee will be worth as much as toilet paper!
Oh really! Just like One USD is equal to 42,000 something Irani Riyal.
% of people buying/hoarding dollars is negligible to contribute substantially towards rupee devaluation.
Actually, SBP is buying dollars from market as they said a day ago, i.e. they don’t even have enough to pay for 3 month import bill.
Boycott campaign is just an eye wash.
It cannot relieve actual problem.
Lekin aap logo ne ghabrana nahi hai…
Please share a list of local products vs foreign products for the public awareness of which products to boycott. Many products are extremely common like those from Unilever and Nestlé.
