Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz recently became the center of online jokes after making a funny mistake while talking about the floods. During her visit to areas affected by heavy rain, she called the downpour “unprecedented.” However, what surprised many was when she said that the torrential rain was caused by the rain itself. This odd statement quickly went viral on social media.
People compared her comment to a famous slip-up by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in 2019, when he said, “When it rains, water comes. When it rains more, more water comes.” Maryam’s remark has now joined that list of well-known political gaffes. Many users joked that Maryam Nawaz is now in her “Bilawal era,” and the moment became a popular source for memes.
The jokes didn’t stop there. Some people made fun by sharing similar obvious statements like “sleep causes sleepiness” or “headaches make your head hurt.” Others pointed out that Maryam has a Master’s degree in English Literature, which made the mistake even more surprising and funny.
This kind of humor is common in Pakistan’s internet culture, where political mistakes quickly turn into memes. Maryam’s comment reminded people of other famous political slips, including Bilawal’s funny speech errors. While these mistakes are small and harmless, they give people a chance to laugh and enjoy some light-hearted fun. For now, Pakistanis agree that their leaders may stumble over words, but they never fail to entertain online.
