Shortly after Google announced a massive $10 billion investment fund for India, Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat put out a sarcastic tweet saying that Pakistan was not too bothered because they would still be getting their Google Doodles online.
Netizens took this opportunity to slam Pakistan saying that the disgruntled country would now give up using Google altogether after it decided to invest such huge amounts in India. Some even took the opportunity to take a pot shot at Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
