IMRAN Khan has suggested Pakistan bans imports of CHEESE in a bid to boost the country’s struggling economy - prompting outrage from the nation's pizza lovers.
The bizarre ban, slammed by critics and opposition leaders, is being considered along with embargoes on other foreign products such as luxury cars and phones.
Newly-elected Prime Minister Khan believes the move will help the country stave off a $12 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reports The Times.
A water crisis has also prompted the former Pakistani cricket captain to ask for donations from Pakistanis around the world to help build a new dam.
Khan came to power in a July election in a result which was disputed by opposition parties who accuse the military of vote-rigging.
Eyebrows have now been raised after the head of the army donated around £6million to the dam appeal.
The cheese ban has prompted jokes from critics including suggestions that three-times married Khan wants to “Make Pakistan grate again” – in a nod to US President Trump’s election mantra.
Social media users have also complained that the country’s pizza, already considered poor, will deteriorate further because of the controversial embargo.
Experts point to the fact that foreign cheese imports, worth £2.5m, make up 0.01 per cent of Pakistan’s current deficit of £13.5 billion.
Miftah Ismail, former finance minister, told The Times: “This won’t make any difference.
Mmmmmm, yak cheese...

A cheese ban? I wonder if that had ever oh curd to any leader before this? Thanks libh8er.
You have a whey with words.
Ah,yes. Looooved by the leftists in the UK.
Cricket’s “dumb jock”. Gives athletes a bad name.
It’s a good sign he’s trying to avoid IMF money. Most turd world hell holes would welcome it.
Pizza Gate!
Thanks, most people seem to be uncertain what I fermeant.
Pizza! Pizza! (Remember when they were $5? Like, 1979...)
Pizza pizza. Little Caesar’s. Still $5. Not the best pizza, to be sure...
Maybe he thinks Kurds invented curds.
Pizza is like sex. Even when it is bad it is still pretty damned good.
Eh. At my age, I prefer good pizza.
Good drunk food, though. Haven’t had it in an age. Best pizza in this college town is $20, but worth it. Discovered it in ‘85... Then the owner retired and sold the joint, but to my relief, the pizza didn’t change. 30 years back, the owner did a TV commercial where he stated “A medium weighs 10 pounds!” He wasn’t lying! Burp!
I haven’t had a good pizza in a long time either. There are a couple of new places in town that are getting rave reviews on Yelp, and there’s the classic DeLuca’s, which usually wins the best pizza in town award from voters who participate in the local newspaper’s annual survey. It really IS good pizza. I believe $20 for one sounds about right. The place is always crowded but I often think about getting a takeout on a mid-afternoon weekday. I could probably could 5 meals out of one of their large pies.

More homemade paneer - the worst cheese in the world.
Could be the next Silicon Valley...but India is closer.
but India is closer.
I mean with the advantage that India is closer..
