India vs. Pakistan – We are not even sure that we ordered the vaccine or not, banana to door ki baat (making it is another story).
Iqrar ul Hassan continued the comparison tweet by saying:
Muqabla kerna hai to taleem main kerain, science main kerain, khail main kerain, infrastructure main kerain, economy main kerain, technology main kerain … aur such ka samna kerain (If you want to compete, do it on the basis of education, science, sports, infrastructure, economy, technology … and face the truth).
India vs Pakistan

Iqrar ul Hassan further highlighted how Pakistan’s currency is at a much lower value than other developing countries like India.
بدقسمتی سے ہمارا پاسپورٹ افغانستان اور صومالیہ کے درجے پر ہے، روپیہ بنگلہ دیشی “ٹکے” کے مقابلے ایک روپے نوے پیسے اور بھارتی روپیہ دو روپے بیس پیسے ہے، ہم محنت کرنے، مقابلہ کرنے کی بجائے خود کو پھنے خان سمجھتے ہیں۔ اللہ ہمیں پاکستان کو صحیح معنوں میں “زندہ باد” بنانے کی توفیق دے pic.twitter.com/uf9wvEknwk

Love, devotion & dedication of @iqrarulhassan towards our beloved country Pakistan is not even debatable or questionable. #wesupportiqrar #WesupportIQRARULHASSAN— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) January 17, 2021
We can’t judge his love & devotion towards his Country by a post it’s just his wish to see a better Transportation system for his own people & his own country nothing wrong in that.Stay strong @iqrarulhassan #WeSupportIqrar

We should all be thankful to @iqrarulhassan for exposing mafia in his programs, took risks & saved hundreds of lives, mostly girls. Instead, we are calling him XYZ agent & making trends against him. This isn’t acceptable. I stand with IQRAR UL HASSAN. #wesupportiqrar

Sad that while other countries are racing to develop a vaccine for its population, we do not even have the capacity to attempt to make a vaccine.This is because of decades of wrong priorities,its high time we invest in health & education over defence and weapons. #wesupportiqrar

Paki Nation ,,,,, what a reaction of patriotism ???? Where is this patriotism and emotions when Indian movies are watched on cable , net & our cinemas ? when Indian channels , showbiz shows are promoted by our promoters in Europe ? The picture Iqrar tweeted about transport is a bitter truth … I was in school ( 70s ) a saw last Govt Transport bus or local train . We as a nation write all good deeds on sand & one bad deed is sculptured on Brass .Feel sorry for such behavior
