PM Shehbaz responds to Zimbabwe President’s ‘fake Mr Bean’ troll

KARACHI: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday replied to the President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s tweet trolling Pakistan over the fake ‘Mr Bean’ saga.

The Green Shirts faced an upset defeat against Zimbabwe by one run at Perth in the Super 12 fixture of the ICC T20 World Cup Super on Thursday.

The premier congratulated Mnangagwa for his side’s astonishing win with a humourous take on the “Pak Bean” meme. The PM was responding to a tweet posted by the Zimbabwean leader in which he said Pakistan “should send the real Mr Bean”.

“We may not have the real Mr Bean, but we have real cricketing spirit .. and we Pakistanis have a funny habit of bouncing back,” he replied.

Earlier, the Zimbabwean head, in his tweet, congratulated the cricket team for a thrilling one-run victory and said Pakistan should send the real Mr Bean next time.

It all started when the Pakistani comedian Mohammad Asif, who is known as “Pakistani Mr. Bean” for his stark resemblance to British comedian Rowan Atkinson’s character, came to an event in the African country as the real one. The people thought him to be the real one but later realized they were tricked.

Twitter user Ngugu Chasura, commenting on a tweet by Pakistan Cricket Board, said his country will never forgive as they were sent the doppelganger instead of the real one.

He added, “We will settle the matter tomorrow just pray the rains will save you.”

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
