Watch: Furious over delay, passengers force Pakistani politicians to deplane

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Rehman Malik and Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) Member of National Assembly Dr Ramesh Kumar Wakwani were not allowed to enter an aircraft as they kept the flight PK-370 delayed for two hours with the rest of 220 passengers waiting.

“I demand he (one of the staff) close the plane doors now,” said one of the angry passengers on the plane, as they were waiting for the ministers to arrive. Another passenger sarcastically said that the staff should tell Malik to take the bus instead. “How long will be put up with this nonsense in this country?” said another passenger.

After a two-hour long wait, when Rehman Malik finally arrived, the Pakistan International Airlines staff tried lying to Malik for not letting him on the plane, citing ’technical reasons’, but eventually one of the passengers told Malik about the real reason – the passengers refused to let Malik on the plane.

The passengers continued shouting even as Malik started walking away from the aircraft doors, demanding that he not be allowed to enter the flight. “You should be ashamed of yourself!” exclaimed one passenger. “It’s your fault!” shouted another passenger.

Soon after Rehman Malik walked away, Member of National Assembly Dr Ramesh Kumar Wakwani also tried walking into the aircraft. A smiling Wakwani was seen arguing with the passengers at the aircraft doors. However, this did not calm the passengers down. One of the passengers even threatened to beat up Wakwani if he entered the aircraft.

Even as a nervous Wakwani went and sat down in the aircraft, some of the passengers surrounded and others started shouting and protesting against him, demanding that he get out of the plane. Eventually, he had to listen to the passengers and get off the plane.
