Two Pakistan politicians were forced off a plane by angry passengers after waiting on board for two hours until they arrived.

Former Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik and his companion, Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, a member of the ruling PML-N Party, were heckled by the more than 150  passengers for arriving two hours late and for being given the VIP treatment by the airline.

Reports showed that the Pakistan International Airlines in Karachi Monday night waited for the two politicians to arrive before it planned to take off for Islamabad.

The passengers were so incensed that a scheduled flight was delayed to cater to the schedule of the politicians that they forced them to step out of the plane.

A video footage showed jeering passengers shouting, "You must be ashamed of yourself! You kept 150 passengers waiting because you can't come on time!"

The passengers demanded an apology from Malik and Vankwani as the passengers bemoaned the VIP mentality and culture of Pakistan.

The Pakistan International Airlines eventually took off from Karachi to Islamabad without the two politicians.

Malik,who blamed the delay to PIA, tried to explain his side, but his voice was barely audible as it was drowned out by the shouts of the angry passengers.

The airplane incident has gone viral in Pakistan's social media, with netizens discussing VIP culture and venting their anger and frustration on Malik.

Netizens said these VIPs assume they have the right to skip lines, cause traffic jams, and hold up flights all at the expense of the ordinary citizens.

Reports said that last year, a woman had to give birth in a car because the roads were closed down to give way to a VIP. The incident sparked a nationwide anger, but the Pakistanis could only shake their heads.

The Pakistanis hailed the passengers who stood up for themselves in the airplane. While netizens felt "good" about the incident happening to Malik, some were a bit resigned to the VIP culture in Pakistan.

"Pakistan seems like it's only made for VIPs. It's a VIP country, " a netizen wrote.
