Rehman Malik Makes Another Thoughtless Mistake on Twitter

When our politicians are a national embarrassment how can we blame people in other fields. A recent example is Senator Rehman Malik and his search for the deceased child labor activist, Iqbal Masih.

When a Twitter user tweeted a tribute to Iqbal Masih, Senator Rehman Malik straight out asked for his contact details.

The liberated bonded laborer passed away in 1995. meaning Rehman Malik didn’t even take the time to Google his name.

No wonder. He could have at least tried to figure out who this brave child was.

After some brutal trolling, Rehman Malik tried to set things right, by asking for Iqbal Masih’s family’s contact details.

Not only was Rehman Malik’s ignorance embarrassing, he was slammed for his lack of effort in doing right by Masih’s family.

Masih was killed in 1995, and that too during a government of which Rehman was a part of. Trying to do things right for Masih’s family after 24 years is a case of too little too late.

He was gunned down back in 95. Not before he helped free 100's of children in slave labour.
Child labour laws are there on paper but no one enforces them. Child slavery still exists in pak. I hope Gov't looks into this enforces it. @ImranKhanPTI @UsmanAKBuzdar @MashwaniAzhar

This isn’t the first time a politician has been trolled for their ignorance. Nor is this the first time Rehman Malik was trolled for not getting his facts straight, yet he just doesn’t seem to learn.
