The Ministry of Information tweeted the notification about the holiday, writing, “Disseminating #FakeNews is not only unethical and illegal, but it is also a disservice to the nation.”

“It is everyone’s responsibility to reject irresponsible behaviour.” Refuse to believe #FakeNews.” According to the information ministry, the notification regarding the holiday on Martyrs Day is a hoax. The Pakistan Private Schools Federation (APPSF), on the other hand, announced that all schools would remain closed on May 25.
