Pakistan Defence Minister Inaugurates Unauthorised Pizza Hut Outlet in Sialkot

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif inaugurated a Pizza Hut-branded outlet in Sialkot Cantonment, which was later declared unauthorised by Pizza Hut Pakistan. The company clarified the outlet was not affiliated with its franchise or parent company Yum! Brands, did not follow official recipes or safety standards, and has filed a complaint over trademark misuse. The incident sparked widespread ridicule and questions about the minister's due diligence, highlighting concerns over governance and administrative oversight in Pakistan.
