Speaker KP Assembly Mushtaq Ghani has rubbed Pakistanis the wrong way after suggesting that in the country's current time of inflation people should cut down the number of rotis they consume.

He said at the Khyber Union of Journalist’s program ‘Meet the Press’, "Instead of two rotis let's cut down to one roti."

In other words, he pulled a Marie Antoinette.

It didn't take long for his speech to make headlines. Even Bilawal Bhutto had a comment to make about it. The PPP leader took to Instagram to share: "Don’t know about Naya but definitely #MengaPakistan."

He means, Mehnga Pakistan...

Twitter was quick to point out how problematic his statement was.

Every one-roti Pakistani is already envious of the two roti Pakistanis, trying to find ways and means how to snatch a a roti from them and make his own two instead of them. It is a race of have and have nots and not the roti in itself. Pakistan with over 26 million tons of wheat production, is already in huge over-production and looking for exports.
