Pakistan PM orders probe after PIA's advertisement over resuming Paris flight triggers row for evoking 9/11 memories
An advertisement for state-run Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), that evoked eerie memories of the 9/11 attacks in the USA, triggered a massive row, forcing PM Shehbaz Sharif to order an investigation, media reports said.
The advertisement in question was created to celebrate the resumption of flight service between Pakistan's Islamabad city and Paris capital Paris.
The PIA shared the image on X which showed a flight heading towards the Eiffel Tower.
With the French flag in the backdrop, the image was shared with the caption: "Paris, we're coming today."
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar informed the Senate about the premier’s decision, reported The News International.
