Pakistani Actress Hina Bayat Criticizes Karachi Airport for Lacking Water in Bathrooms
Pakistani Actress Hina Bayat Voices Frustration Over Water Shortage at Karachi Airport
Actress Hina Bayat has expressed her discontent with the Karachi Airport authorities over the lack of water in the washrooms, especially on the national holiday of Youm-e-Takbeer.
In a social media video, Ms. Bayat shared her disappointment towards the inconvenience experienced by travelers at the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, particularly when the nation was celebrating the day that commemorates Pakistan's nuclear tests. The occasion is observed annually on May 28th.
Ms. Bayat questioned the significance of such celebrations when basic necessities, such as water in washrooms, remain unavailable. "Today is Youm-e-Takbeer, and I'm currently at the Karachi International Airport. On a day meant for celebrating our nation’s accomplishments, instead, I find that the washrooms lack water, causing inconvenience for travelers hoping to pray or attend to their kids," she said in the video.
Her video garnered positive reactions on Instagram, with many appreciating her honest account of the situation. One user commented, "Appreciate her honest comments. It's high time for the concerned authorities to take prompt action." Another user added, "Absolutely, she hits the nail on the head."
Ms. Bayat also questioned the nation's focus on constructing large-scale projects like new trains while neglecting fundamental issues such as the insufficient water supply at airport washrooms. "Why has the state of our airports, institutions, and systems deteriorated to such an extent, and yet no one is willing to admit that these issues need addressing? Big projects are being built, and there's talk of new trains, yet the washrooms of international airports remain without water. It's truly unfortunate," she stated.
Recent developments seem to have worsened Pakistan's water crisis, with India having suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu, and Kashmir, on April 22nd. As a response, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, noted, "As far as the Indus Water Treaty is concerned, it will remain suspended until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures terrorism." Further action to address the water shortage at the airport or the broader water crisis in Pakistan was not specified in the search results.
- Ms. Bayat's concern isn't just limited to the water crisis at Karachi Airport, as she also questions the nation's focus on fashion-and-beauty and entertainment, while neglecting fundamental issues like the insufficient water supply.
- Beyond politics and general-news headlines, the water shortage in Pakistan continues to impact everyday life, evident in the lack of water in airport washrooms and potentially other public facilities.
- Amidst the escalating tensions between Pakistan and India over the Indus Waters Treaty and recent terrorist activities, the focus on home-and-garden and lifestyle matters seems out of place, given the pressing importance of resolving the water crisis.
- On social media platforms like Instagram, the conversation about Pakistan's water shortage has gained momentum, with celebrities like actress Hina Bayat speaking out and actively engaging their followers in discussions about crime-and-justice and social-media activism for change.
