Pakistan Defence Minister Inaugurates Unauthorised Pizza Hut Outlet in Sialkot

Pakistan 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 had no legal or operational ties to its brand, did not follow official recipes or standards, and filed a complaint over trademark misuse. The incident sparked widespread ridicule and questions about due diligence, with social media users mocking the minister and the oversight. Pizza Hut Pakistan currently operates 16 authorised stores, none in Sialkot.
