Veteran actress Bushra Ansari might have a lot of jokes up her sleeve, but this time the nation isn’t laughing with her.
Taking to Instagram, the veteran actress shared a news clip from FHM Pakistan about a government announcement giving Pakistanis five days off for Eid.
The government has not allotted five days for Eid holidays, but today the federal government announced that three holidays will be granted from June 29 till 1st July, 2023 for those working five days a week.
To the ‘Dolly Ki Ayegi Barat’, this wasn’t really good news as she lamented in the post:
“Ma Sha Allah. This nation needs to work day and night to progress in life.. but why do we want to have so many holidays…3 days are more than enough..kaam karlo kaam. Bus chuttiyon ka bahana chahiye.”
The comment did not sit well with many Pakistanis who felt that the actress had an entitled and elitist approach towards people who have to work hard throughout the year to make a living, and deserved time off for relaxation. One user commented:
“Many people have to move from their workplace to hometowns for celebrating Eid. They have to spend hefty amounts in the name of fares. 4 to 5 public holidays will let them celebrate, take rest and meet their beloved ones.”
“Ask those who work 9 to 5”, another user wrote.
