Another video from Pakistan has gone viral on social media, but this time it is not a fake or video based on propaganda - it was of actress Hina Khawaja who took to the social media platform to share that there was no water facility at Karachi International Airport.
She blamed the government for its poor water management.
The actress posted this video on her Instagram handle and highlighted that the day of Youm-e-Takbeer was a big disappointment for Pakistanis as there was no water at the airport.
In the video, she mentioned, “Log namaz padhna chah rahe hain. Bachchon ke lekar washrooms jaana chah rahe hain aur paani nahi hai,” which could be loosely translated, “People want to offer Namaz, take their kids to the washrooms and there's no water).”
Furthermore she said, “Nobody is willing to accept the flaws ingrained in the system". "Bade bade projects ban rahe hain. Nayi trains ke baare mein baat ho rahi hai lekin international airports ke bathroom tak mein paani muhaiya nahi ho raha hai,” which in English states, “There are huge projects underway, discussions are ongoing about new train facilities and yet we can't avail water in the bathrooms of an international airport).”
She further stated that it is “regretful” and raised questions towards the government of Pakistan.
It indeed is a matter of concern for Pakistan and Pakistanis as general citizens might face major issues due to this lack or unavailability of water.
However, the netizens from India flooded the comment section with jokes linked to the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) - which was recently suspended by India following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025.
One of the netizens noted, “Results are coming from #pakistan after India stop water… no water even in the washroom,” while the other one noted, “Pakistani actress Hina Khawaja Bayat calls out the authorities after discovering no water in the washrooms at Karachi airport — not even for wuzu or for children. Standing in front of a board that reads “Pride of Pakistan”, she asks: “Fakhar kis baat ka? What is there to be proud of?” This powerful video is sparking serious questions about the water crisis in Pakistan and the state of our infrastructure.”
🎥 Shocking! No water at Karachi Airport?

The Indus Waters Treaty -
The Indus Water Treaty was signed between India and Pakistan in 1960 and was meant to govern the use of water from the Indus River system - which focuses on the six main rivers into the following categories - Western Rivers - India, Jhelum, Chenab for Pakistan and Easter Rivers - Sutlej, Beas, Rave for India.
