The Problem With Hired Protesters

Credit for digging up this Video of the Day, and even inspiring the title should go to @shahidsaeed on Twitter...

This is from the anti-Zulfiqar Mirza protests outside the Karachi Press Club on October 10, which followed the return to Pakistan of the former Sindh Home Minister and his attempts to stoke controversy yet again by bilious rants against his bete noire, the MQM and its leader Altaf Hussain. The MQM castigated the media for giving too much importance to the "nobody" Mirza and pretended it had nothing to do with the "spontaneous" protests while at the same time, through its testy reactions, it probably gave Mirza exactly the importance he craved. In any case, do not miss this hilarious clip where the chant leader begins with slogans of 'Altaf Kutta', which he belts out twice before realizing what protest he's at, upon which he slaps his head and does a 'tauba'. Unfortunately, it still doesn't prevent him from receiving a reproachful whack and being dragged away... As I said, bloody hilarious!

Hilarious! never seen such a real life clip that would give me a belly laugh. I loved his expressions after realizing his mistake.
hope nobody harms the guy. what does a person care about parties or interests if his/her immediate task is to put food on the plate.

this was hilarious!

at the same time it is quite ironic also, as it highlights Pakistan's worst enemy: it's own people.. their indifference.. and lack of education.

Poor guy --- as soon as he realised his mistake he started slapping himself. MQM, please do not kill this person.

@user, people are not indifferent. they are trying to do whatever they can do to survive in the worst conditions. what options do they have? to take a stand against the corrupt? ok if they do that who will provide for their immediate necessities. resistance is not the easy. and they might not be formally uneducated but they are not uneducated. troubled life has taught them a lot which elites do not learn in their pricy universities.
