Instead of condemning the abuse, fellow senators are asking why only Malik is enjoying the perks. Meaning they are asking that they all should should be able to abuse the system. Just incredible...

Why Senator Rehman Malik is getting special security paid by Pakistan tax payers? Where's the check and balance? Why special treatments to some people? This MUST be stopped.

It is not only Rehman Malik but there are so many others enjoying free security at the cost of tax payers money in the country. I have myself seen Police guarding the businesses sites like CNG filling station owned by Minister.
