      <title>‘Lahore da Pawa, Akhtar Lawa!’: Why is he trending in Pakistan?</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30306315/lahore-da-pawa-akhtar-lawa-why-is-he-trending-in-pakistan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chaudhary Akhtar Lawa, a businessman by profession and also a politician, became an overnight social media sensation for his catchphrase – ‘Lahore da Pawa, Akhtar Lawa’ – and punch-motion combo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, Twitter went into a frenzy and made him a trending topic. Here is what you need to know about him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an interview with Daily Point, the politician revealed that the catchphrase and action make him feel ’energized and alive, which is why he started using it in his now-viral TikTok videos.  “When I said Lahore Da Pawa, I got the energy and felt powerful.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have a look at how he says the famous slogan:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/LahoreNama/status/1598703417815359491"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf  (PTI) leader Zartaj Gul’s tweet also made him viral as she took a dig at the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/PTISPOfficial/status/1599767143427768320"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Netizens continue to enjoy his content, using his voiceovers for their videos and using the catchphrase in memes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even a Norwegian recreated his viral catchphrase and punch motion, a testament to his crazy popularity online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
