Nation urged to remain steadfast," the official Economic Affairs Division X handle posted. The Indian Government’s media arm, PIB, heavily trolled the Pakistan government after Islamabad begged for “more funds" from the international community to fight the war with India. PIB trolled the Pakistani government with a famous meme in the entertainment corridors. The meme showed a dialogue from the movie ‘Golmaal’, “Yeh Koi Tarika Hai Bheek Mangne Ka (is this the manner to beg?)"
