Islamabad: Pakistan
Muslim League-N Senator Musaddik Malik got embroiled into a controversy after
he said on national television that a certain journalist “should be set on
fire” for not being respectful enough towards victims of the PIA plane crash
tragedy. “This Tahir [the journalist] sahib, I don’t know who he is. Is he the
head of some organisation? He came on television and said that our
international image is being destroyed [by the revelation of deep-rooted issues
in PIA],” the senator said in a video clip which has now gone viral on social
media. “We should throw such an international image into the fire and we should
set fire to Tahir sahib who came [on TV] and said something like this and made
a mockery of all of us,” an enraged Malik could be heard saying. “Our plane
crashed, should we not conduct an investigation and if there is a failure
should we not go after whoever failed? Should we not do a root cause analysis?
