      <title>Fawad Chaudhry dubbed minister of “misinformation” after confusing garlic with ginger
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30272018/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minister of information and broadcasting has become a topic of memes and internet trolling after a video in which he calls garlic “&lt;em&gt;adrak&lt;/em&gt;” (ginger) has gone viral on social media.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nailainayat/status/1463160238765400083?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The video is from a press conference on inflation that took place on Tuesday. Chaudhry is heard saying “garlic is &lt;em&gt;adrak&lt;/em&gt;,” which are two very different commonly used herbs used for cooking across the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The minister’s slip of tongue caught the attention of netizens at once and the trolling began. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One angry user wants to know if Chaudhry is the information minister or is misinformation/misinformed minister. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/KanwalSibal/status/1463178431001026571?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While another tweeted, “Information minister needs some serious info regarding vegetables.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MirzaBegg3/status/1463202115417948161?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This user cracked exactly how garlic must be feeling after this event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hamzabutt61/status/1463187575183753227?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Questions were also raised about the minister’s “&lt;em&gt;adrak wali chai&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Gautaamm/status/1463310192771096576?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Journalist Shafi Naqi Jamie tweeted that there’s a “new dictionary. Garlic is called ginger.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ShafiNaqiJamie/status/1463254654859583495?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But Chaudhry isn’t the only one who believes that garlic is “&lt;em&gt;adrak&lt;/em&gt;,” one user tweeted that their husband thinks the same. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ShardaAshima/status/1463192183641714695?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another user happily tweeted that they’re glad for not being the only one “who doesn’t know the difference.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/_ItxLailak/status/1463176610182488064?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
