Shaniera and Jeremy Slam This Journalist’s Ignorant View on “Goras” in Pakistan and Won Us Over

It’s evident that Jeremy McLellan and Shaniera Akram hold a pretty high status in Pakistan for every reason except being foreigners. Shaniera is the wife of a legend in Cricket and has charmed every Pakistan with her positive sense and proactive impulse about everything.Meanwhile, Jeremy is like a celebrity.

The stand-up comedian never ceases to charm us with his impeccable humor, his love for Pakistan and yes, BIRYANI! Pretty much this could all be the reason why people respect him so much. On the other hand, a journalist on Twitter sparked a huge debate regarding the status of “Goras” (white people) in Pakistan. It all happened when he presumed a fake propaganda spread by PTI member regarding Imran Khan’s sons.

A PTI MEMBER TRIED TO SHOW IK’S SONS TRAVELING LIKE ORDINARY CITIZENS BUT THIS JOURNALIST THINKS IT’S A PROPAGANDA

How? Well, he has a very outrageous claim about Rawal Lounge where Imran Khan’s sons can be seen. He thinks it’s a VIP corner, only reserved for the privileged.

Shameless propaganda by a senior PTI office bearer claiming that IK's sons left Islamabad airport for a flight like ordinary travellers when in fact this is the Rawal Lounge used by VIPs

Shortly after this tweet was posted, people called out on him for his baseless theory and clarified that the Rawal Lounge is not a VIP place.

HERE. WE. GO.

You do realize pretty much anyone can use this lounge. Even I've used it and I'm an ordinary citizen! Please do proper research before posting. You're supposed to be a journalist.


PEOPLE ENLIGHTENED THIS GENTLEMAN OF THE APPARENT TRUTH… HERE’S ANOTHER ONE:

Also anyone can use it for 500 rupees.

ENOUGH SAID!

The debate wasn’t ended there. The journalist thought he probably had a chance and perhaps the matter wasn’t laid to rest. So, he came with another outrageous claim of white people having a supreme status in Pakistan. Thus, the entitlement of all privileges (according to him).

HERE HE GOES AGAIN:

Okay…

Hate to break it to you Jeremy but the colour of your skin and passport makes you pretty much a VIP on Pakistanhttps://twitter.com/JeremyMcLellan/status/945010515373383680 …

Anyone with a little bit of reason knows that the above-mentioned comment is rather too personal. Shaniera Akram definitely took notice of what was happening here and absolutely left no chance to clear some air.HERE IS SHANIERA AKRAM 101:

I hear you @JeremyMcLellan .Maybe Omar forgot that Pakistanis are incredibly hospitable especially to foreign guests!Don’t worry Omar, I don’t need or want VIP If it’s only given to me because of my skin colour, i would rather be with and amongst the people, ANY day of the week! https://twitter.com/omar_quraishi/status/945015212176035841 …


Shaniera’s reply is a pretty strong one. She makes a staggering statement, certainly, one would love her even more for those beautiful words. But it’s not done yet…

Actually someone recognized me but cool on you for calling Pakistanis racist.

I also have $5 which is all it costs to use that lounge. If you need $5 I’ll be happy to send it you so you can also be #VIPhttps://twitter.com/omar_quraishi/status/945015212176035841 …


So, it took 2 Goras to actually remind a local of the whole truth. Not to forget, the extra mile they go in taking ownership and showing love for this country; it’s incomparable!

Let’s give it up one more time for Jeremy McLellan and Shaniera Akram for their humor, wit and most of all, sense.

Hahaha I saw this and I loved it! Sorry but if you CAN afford VIP/First Class Business travel - why not? It’s not public funding? It’s out off their own pockets.

Some people just don't get it. We are not against VIP services if those are paid by the users' own pockets.
Whenever I'm on a long flight, I try to buy a business class (First class is too expensive for me and does not add much comfort on top of the business) and I also buy some extra services (Like Marhaba lounge + service at Dubai airport) if not already covered by the ticket. And I am an ordinary person...with hardly any online presence except anonymous presence on PDF but with such an extensive travelling I don't want to develop jet related sickness.

I avoid Rawal lounge, its full of cheapskates and journalists! I just arrive just in time, board and fly! Hate Islamabad airport, it has to be the worst airport after Quetta.

Islamabad airport is basically one huge bathroom with airplanes parked in one area labelled as airport.
