Rehman Malik, friend thrown off a PIA flight by passengers angry over flight delay


A video showing angry Pakistan International Airlines passengers expel Pakistan People's Party leader Rehman Malik and his MP friend has gone viral on the internet.

The passengers, reportedly angry over Malik delaying the Islamabad-found flight from karachi by more than two hours, stopped Malik and Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) MP Dr Ramesh Kumar Wakwani from boarding the plane.

The video shows the two leaders being booed by the passengers, with the crew members of the PIA also joining in.

"Malik sahab, you are not a minister any more. And even if you are, we don't care... anymore," a passenger could be heard in the video.

1. The camera guy switches effortlessly between his language and English;

2. One of the passengers objecting to Malik's boarding identifies with Westland, Michigan's Varsity team;

3. This could never happen in the U.S.-(don't mean holding a plane for a national figure-that could happen here), because the objecting passengers would be escorted off the plane to jail for interfering with a U.S. flight;

4. Malik has no security detail protecting him;

5. The elites in First Class look like what the elites in the French Revolution must have looked like waiting to see if the guillotine was coming for them.

6. Wow--just wow!
