Milestones of Fawad Chaudhry Besides EV-Policy
Not just his supporters but even his political opponents may commend him on the work he has done as the science minister including local production of surgical items and ventilators, electric vehicles etc.
However, when Fawad was the information minister, he made embarrassing gaffes which turned out to be a tool of humiliation and enabled Twitter users to pull his leg.
It can be hoped that Fawad has matured over time and would not repeat the blunders he made as an information minister as now, the media is going to prick its ears and sharpen its sight on him.
Fawad’s gaffes
In 2019, when he was the information minister and countered the Indian Foreign Minister on Twitter, he probably forgot to proofread his tweet where he misspelled ’Pakistan’.

In August 2018, he claimed prime minister’s commute on the helicopter to and from his residence, Bani Gala, only cost around Rs 55 per kilometers (kms).
And even as science and technology minister, in May 2019 during a program of Geo News, he had claimed that the Hubble telescope, which is the world’s biggest telescope, was sent into space by Pakistan’s space agency, SUPARCO.
As he has been reappointed as the information minister, the people hope Fawad would not repeat the same blunders this time.
Besides this, the media persons also expect that he would fulfill the words he had given to digitize Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
