LAHORE: The menace of VIP culture is present all over Pakistan; over the last decade babies have been born in rickshaws, daughters have died because the hospital doors were closed, all in the name of VIP protocol.
The latest incident that caught the media’s attention took place in Lahore on Friday, when a convoy with tinted windows accompanied by official protocol vehicles rammed into and forcefully stopped Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s sister Dr. Uzma Khan’s vehicle.
According to the PTI chairman’s sister, the police squads accompanying the VIP forcefully stopped her car while a second squad car rammed into her vehicle. She claims the policemen then trained their automatic assault rifles upon her and her children.
While Imran Khan’s sister claimed the VIP protocol belonged to Maryam Nawaz Sharif, PMLN quarters and the prime minister’s daughter herself have all denied the allegation.
Maryam Nawaz took to twitter and clarfied that she was infact in Islamabad when the incident untoward incident with Dr. Uzma Khan took place in Lahore. The first daughter added that she only landed in Lahore at 4:30PM.
Feel sorry for Mr. Khan's sister. Was in Isb when I got the news. Arrived in Lhr at 4:30. Liars should have some shame at least in Ramadan.

The PTI chairman who is in Karachi also reacted to the incident and demanded to know whgy the common man is being treated like this for the prime minister’s daughter. He asked on whose authority was Maryam Nawaz running the country and treating it like her personal estate.
Meanwhile, PMLN quarters continue to deny the allegations with Talal Chaudhry going as far as likening the allegation to the ‘35-punctures’ allegation the PTI had hurled at the ruling PMLN.
