Throwback: When a US vice president befriended a Pakistani camel cart man
In an endearing video posted on their official Facebook page, the US Consulate of Pakistan harks back to the chance meeting of late Pakistani camel cart man Bashir Ahmad Sarban and then US vice president Lyndon Johnson in 1961 that blossomed into a sound friendship. Johnson later went on to become the president of America from 1963-1969.
The video begins with one of Bashir's sons saying, "It is said that Americans are really nice people and that they do what they've promised."
