Mahesh Hayat had shared a video of the new commercial on her social media accounts two days ago in which she was seen dancing and selling biscuits representing the four provinces. Ever since Mahesh Hayat shared this video on social media, including Twitter users, journalist Ansar Abbasi and national ministers have also come under fire.
PM @ImranKhanPTI Sahb is totally against such anti Islamic stuff on media which is against our cultural norms & has damaging effects on our youth.
No place for such absurdity in an Islamic state, which was made on the Kailma Tayyabaلا الہ الا اللہ محمد رسول اللہ https://t.co/0nVDOGRKsC

Ansar Abbasi tweeted that the channel will now run on TV channels to sell biscuits. Is there an organization called PEMRA here? Will Prime Minister Imran Khan take any action on this issue? Wasn’t Pakistan built in the name of Islam?
آپ اور علی 24 گھنٹے فحاشی کیوں سرچ کرتے رہتے ہے ہیں؟ کوئ Productive کام کیا کریں https://t.co/mCrYcm883B

Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan tweeted in response to Ansar Abbasi’s tweet, saying that Imran Khan was totally against all the anti-Islamic things in the media that are against our culture and principles and harmful to our youth. Effects. There is no place in the Islamic state for such nonsense that was built on the Kalima Tayyaba.
Like seriously This is the ad of *Biscuit*? What’s wrong with our content creators, going down each passing day? SHAME!

Meanwhile, Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, while replying to the tweets of Ansar Abbasi and Ali Muhammad Khan, said that why do you and Ali keep searching for pornography 24 hours a day? Do any productive work.

Guys stop tweeting on such a meaningless material. I dont think that there is any type of obscenity in this add so don’t tell to public that tweeter trend is meaning less and has no value. I mean seriously there is any need to tweet on this add?? pic.twitter.com/wCu65c7HkK— Aqsa Idrees (@AqsaIdrees13) October 5, 2020
Users are also giving their opinion on this issue on social media. A woman named Arooj said what has happened to our content creators, our content is declining day by day, please increase the quality. Making biscuits won’t do you any good.

However, some people were seen talking in favor of this commercial. Aqsa said, “I don’t think there is any absurdity in this commercial, so stop telling people about it that Twitter trends are meaningless and have no significance.” Is it really necessary to tweet on this commercial?
