It's true: Middlesex University is Pakistani Information Minister's Voldemort

Earlier today a video emerged in which Pakistan's Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed has a problem. A very pressing problem.

Speaking about Imran Khan's son's university, the information minister said: "I will not take the name of that place. I will not take the name of that place because if a Muslim speaks that name, he will have to do wuzu (ritual ablution). But ask Khan Saheb what this area's name is. If Khan Saheb tells you this name, he will also have to do wuzu.
Rasheed was referring to none other than Middlesex University, situated north of London in England.

The reason he couldn't state the university's name? Well, it has has the word 'sex' in it!

The situation immediately brings to mind the Harry Potter series and 'Voldemort', otherwise known as He Who Must Not Be Named.

Now, we all know Pakistanis have an uneasy relationship with sex. But is the word for a perfectly natural reproductive process really so powerful that it can reduce a national representative to using innuendo? As powerful as the darkest wizard ever? Apparently, yes.

Rasheed's Potter moment spawned its very own hashtag on Twitter, ##placespervaizrasheedcantname. Twitterati weighed in on what other locations might terrify Rasheed so. Here's a little teaser:





Here's hoping Rasheed finds the courage to overcome this soon.

. If Khan Saheb tells you this name, he will also have to do wuzu.

1stly, out of the thousands of languages in the world, only god knows how many times one would have to do Wudhu if we were to consider every word we speak cross referenced with every language on the planet!
2ndly, Jahil Joker at its best and even given a ministry!
3rdly, how is this not against constitution to behave like a jahil overseas resulting in the plundering of our country's name?

Maybe because "sex" is the only english word Rasheed sahab knows.

 

[Kambojaric]

Pronounced as Loond University.

'Lu' in Swedish is pronounced like the biscuit company Lu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefèvre-Utile), whereas in the punjabi word the 'u' sounds more ilke an 'a'. Still funny though haha.

He has issued a clarification

He said he meant Hamfield not Middlesex and that he was joking.

If thats the case then he souldn't be able to say names like Hammond or Hamid or Hamdard. Seriously what a joker
