Twitter giggles as Reham Khan advertises 'IK Chappal for Rs 5500'
"Imran khan chappal now available only 5,500 PKR with free home delivery", tweeted Reham
LAHORE: (Web Desk) – In what appears to be just an attempt to highlight how much people love Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Reham Khan tweeted last night that Imran Khan Chappal was now available only for Rs. 5,500 with free home delivery. She also mentioned in the tweet that she had received this message from senior PTI leader Dr. Arif Alvi.
Just received this text from Arif Alvi Sb..Imran khan chappal now available only 5,500 PKR with free home delivery.

There was definitely some positive response from the PTI fans on this tweet, without realizing that this was just a spam message being circulated that Reham had tweeted.
@RehamKhan1 what s the method of paying, and receiving delivery of chappal. I want to buy .

But there were others who were furious at this tweet.

Dr. Arif Alvi confirmed that it was just a spam message that he had received and he forwarded it to Reham Khan.
I got this spam SMS about @ImranKhanPTI Peshawar Chappal. It is obvious that every thing about IK is famous ;-) https://t.co/UISE0GS7gB

However, Twitterati seemed ready to troll PTI and Reham Khan over this tweet. They never forgive anyone.

There were those who said Reham deliberately tweeted it to give leverage to the Chappal.
They know how to Sale their Product. Very Sharp I must say Best use of Media Houses... Qulfi, Chappal, Container, Rating, Lifafay..........

NFP was in his make-fun-mode, as always. He equated IK Chappal with Ian Chappell.
MT “@RehamKhan1: IK chappal now available only 5,500 PKR with free home delivery.” There s Ian Chappell and then there s IK Chappal.

Tariq Mateen seemed quite serious though, and angry, and somewhat rightly.
At a time when eyes were in tears and every sensible person was tweeting abt khi tragedy, some1 said chappal for Rs 5500 only

But it was Bilal Khan who came up with the most striking similarity. Only today, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has inaugurated Green Line Train that carries passengers from Islamabad to Karachi in just Rs. 5500. And on the same day, this Chappal worth Rs. 5500 also is making rounds on social media.
Coincidence? Green train fare Rs.5,500/ https://t.co/dFHScBZxQG Imran Khan Chappal Rs.5,500/ https://t.co/76yuWBWZFP https://t.co/76yuWBWZFP
