“Jimmy Fallon chose to mock Shehbaz Sharif but radio silence on Pakistan’s floods”, react Twitteratis
Netizens are not taking the joke made by famous host Jimmy Fallon about PM Shehbaz Sharif struggling with his headphones and raised a question about Jimmy’s hypocrisy of being silent about the devastating condition in Pakistan due to floods.
A video of PM Shahbaz Sharif struggling with his headphone during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the 22nd Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation went viral on social. Yesterday, American Television host Jimmy Fallon mocked Shahbaz Sharif by showing the clip on his show and said, “That guy is the leader of 220 million people”.
Netizens are not happy with Jimmy’s insensitive remarks and stated that a 70-year-old Pakistani man struggling with technology caught his attention but not the 33 million people affected by catastrophic floods in the country. They called him a hypocrite for his radio silence on Pakistan’s floods and fundraising campaigns.
A Twitterati took a jibe at Jimmy and wrote, “have u talked abt the devastating floods destroying Pakistan? “A nation of 220 million people” is destroyed by climate change because of YOUR country’s greed & wastefulness. If u haven’t donated or raised funds for us u don’t get to use us as a joke”.
Here are a few reactions from netizens.
