New Delhi: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed can’t keep himself off controversies. Last week, when daughter of an Afghan envoy to Pakistan was kidnapped and later released by unknown abductors, he denied the incident and expressed disbelief toward the girl’s account of what happened. He was widely mocked in the international media for denying the incident and the girl’s account.
Now, Pakistani Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad has become the fodder for hilarious memes and jokes after a video of him rowing a boat at a farmhouse recently went viral on social media.
The Interior Minister recently took some time during Eid and posted a video of him gently rowing a boat at his ‘Freedom House’ in Rawalpindi.
He captioned the video, “Second day of Eid: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed sailing at Freedom House.”

The video soon caught the eye of social media users who pointed out that boat was not at all moving and that the minister was rowing the boat with just one oar. This 49 seconds of video soon turned into jokes and meme as it showed the minister trying to row the boat but could not move it.

Can’t see for sure who is pulling or pushing the poor boat. Brilliant idea to keep the ministers fit, just leave them with the boat. #DIY https://t.co/qfV4ijCqvZ
