President also faced backlash on social media for playing the game.

It is shameful that this president has nothing better to do than to play silly games at a time the country is facing grim security and economic challenges. He has nothing to say even on the ongoing Balochistan terrorism events. pic.twitter.com/pacxGMEV0G

The president enjoys family time in his castle and doesn’t care for his responsibilities or atleast optics… He could’ve said few words for Balochistan or any other national issue but OUR PRESIDENT loves and enjoy puzzle 🤯 https://t.co/1jwnRNgnNr
