Former Pakistani interior minister Rehman Malik has become a viral sensation after the emergence of an online video which showed how irate passengers prevented him from taking a Pakistan International Airlines flight. The passengers, reportedly 250 of them, were seething with anger at having been kept waiting for over two hours for the VIP passenger.
The mobile phone video, posted on Daily Motion on Monday and reposted on YouTube (YouTube is blocked in Pakistan) shows Malik being shooed away at the entrance of the aircraft. A second, longer part shows his travel accomplice PML-N leader Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani being shouted at by passengers, who make him vacate his seat, take his bag, and leave.
