Government rejects rumors for Friday being announced as weekly off

We’ve been on the edge of our seats ever since the rumors of Friday being declared the weekly holiday in Pakistan began circulation. Since business and trade agreements amounting to millions of dollars have been signed amongst Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and with the government looking to strenghtening business relations with KSA and the UAE, the rumors were strongly being believed.

However, negating all such ideas, Information Minsiter, Fawad Hussain issued a clarification on his twitter. “No change in weekly holiday calender is under consideration, all such rumours regarding change in this regard are baseless,” he said on Twitter.
