Pakistan's Embassy in Serbia asks for salary; Official says account hacked

Belgrade: The official Twitter handle of Pakistan Embassy Serbia Friday posted a public message on the platform— a rather strange note, trolling Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

In yet another major embarrassment for Pakistan, country's embassy in Serbia has called out the Premier for not paying the salaries of Pakistani diplomats for 3 months —citing rising inflation.

On the verified handle with a blue tick, the twitter handler apparently criticized Imran Khan, asking him how long the government expects its officials to remain silent when they have not been paid for last three months. 

Condemning Imran Khan, the person wrote, "With inflation breaking all previous records, how long do you expect Imran Khan that we government official will remain silent & keep working for you without been paid for past 3 months”.

“Our children been forced out of school due to non-payment of fees,” the writer added.  

The tweet also included a parody track with the "Ghabrana nahi hai (Don’t freak out)" catchphrase—asking Khan, if it is his new Pakistan.

In another tweet, the person wrote, "I am sorry Imran Khan, am not left with another option".

I am sorry @ImranKhanPTI, am not left with another option.
