APROPOS your editorial ‘VIP culture’ (Sept 17). Delay in PIA flights caused by VIPs is quite common. It happens frequently while passengers, including women and children, suffer helplessly. Having lost all hopes, passengers eventually took the law in their own hands on board PK 370.

The lesson here for our rulers is that if the authorities concerned are incompetent, the public will take the law into their hands and very soon it may become mob rule.
