The Governor of Sindh, Imran Ismael, has issued a clarification regarding a video of his ‘dog riding in protocol’ that recently attracted a lot of criticism on the Internet.
He released a video message on Thursday in response to the viral video, saying that his pet had been traveling with his family members and that the police mobile had not been stationed there as protocol but to provide security to every Governor’s family.
Ismael had come under fire after the video showing his dog riding in a Governor House vehicle with a police van following as protocol took the internet by storm. There had been no other person visible in the vehicle with tinted glass apart from the dog that had his head hanging out of the window.

Minister Talpur had posted the video on his Twitter account on Wednesday. While speaking on a TV channel, he stated that he recorded the instance after exiting the Chief Minister House following a meeting.
Following the incident, #گورنرکی_گاڑی_میں_کتا has been trending on Twitter and involves Twitterati bashing the incumbent government for its alleged double standards.
Here is a look at what people have been saying on the issue:
لوگوں کو غلط فہمی ہوئی ہے وہ بے چارہ مریل کتا دراصل دریا کے کنارے بھوک سے مررہا تھا۔ گورنر سندھ کو اطلاع ملی تو بے چین ہوگئے۔ ان کے حکم پر اسے سرکاری لینڈ کروزر میں ریسکو کر کے لایا جارہا تھا تاکہ قیامت کے روز گورنر سے اس بھوکے کتے کا سوال نہ پوچھا جائے—

What are your thoughts on the story? Let us know in the comments section.
Dog is very faithful animal doesn’t take U turn and fulfils his duties honestly. No need to protest against him!
Why was his family even moving in his official vehicle, let alone his dog? And where is it mentioned that the protocol for the governor extends to his immediate family? His family should be moving around the city in their private vehicle without utilising public resources.
Of all the governments that have taken the office, how many have suggested reducing the perks and privileges of govt. officials and parliamentarians through legislation? Why does everyone need Land Crusiers worth 1.5 crore? Can they not work with a Corolla?
But this is too ideal of a situation and 90 % of Pakistanis would do the same, that’s why our country is in this state right now.
