Our country is full of surprises. According to the recent news.‘Liquor’ is set to become available at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport after approval of a summary sent to Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar.
According to reports, Punjab Excise and Taxation Department, police and district administration have issued no objection certificates to Unicorn Prestige Limited, a company that had applied for a Liquor license in the name of Royal Swiss International. Here are some more information regarding it.
Currently, only four hotels in the city are authorized liquor sellers with L2 licenses, which includes Avari Hotel, Holiday Inn, Pearl Continental Hotel, and Ambassador Hotel.
Moreover, after the CM’s agreement, the company will be allowed to sell sharaab at the Lahore airport. Although according to Pakistan’s laws, only non-Muslim citizens and non-Muslim foreigners will be allowed to purchase and consume liquor with the help of permits.
The company is likely to establish a duty-free shop to sell alcohol at the Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore. Additionally, reports claim that the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers pushed for the issuance of NOCs and summary.
Here’s how people are reacting to this news:

This news has actually left people to actually talk about it and mainly all are negative comments. There are few people who still think that we need to open up our minds regarding all this but keeping in mind us being the Muslim country, such haram thing is not needed.
Do you think our government is doing the right thing or is it another step to disappoint our people?
