[Memes]"},"content":{"rendered":"

Yesterday, the people responsible for keeping heritage sites preserved in Sindh shared the news that they have ‘restored’ old heritage sites. Except there was one problem.<\/p>\n

People were angered to see the beautiful historical sites ‘whitewashed’ in the name of preservation.<\/p>\n

But leave it to Pakistanis to make fun of their own calamities like no one else. Everyone has now taken to Twitter to share their version of what ‘restored by Sindh govt.’ looks like.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

Before we get into the memes, here’s what happened. Sardar Shah, the Minister for Culture, Tourism, and Antiquities in Sindh took the initiative of preserving and restoring important historical sites.<\/p>\n

Restoring sites means bringing them back to their original state, but what people got was a white-washed version of them. Let’s take a look:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Needless to say, people were pissed and took to their social media to express their dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God! Height of incompetence! Whitewashing the historical characteristics of these heritage sites is criminal vandalism not restoration! @UNESCO<\/a> Pls intervene to stop this idiocy before there is nothing left of our past to pass onto our children \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/t.co\/gcIHHczYwN<\/a><\/p>\n
