In a bizarre incident, former Punjab Minister Mian Manzoor Ahmad attended the funeral of his friend Mian Muhammad Nawaz Wattoo in Okara while sitting his air-conditioned SUV.
As footage of this incident has gone viral on social media, netizens have expressed strong criticism, calling the act inappropriate and rooted in arrogance. According to Aaj News, the video clearly shows the funeral prayer being offered while Manzoor Wattoo remains seated in his vehicle, which appears to be parked in the front row.

In response to the scene, several users have questioned why, if he truly intended to participate, he did not park the vehicle farther back and use a wheelchair or chair to join.
Users have described Manzoor Wattoo’s conduct as symbolic of a powerful elite who consider themselves above the general public. One user commented that such actions further highlight the divide between the common man and the privileged class.
