Pakistan’s Minister for Education and Professional Training Rana Tanveer Hussain was seen using inappropriate language during a speech at a convocation at the Government College University (GCU), Lahore.
In a video that went viral on social media, the minister is heard telling the convocation’s attendees that he once met Rana Iqrar, the vice chancellor of a Faisalabad agriculture university, and telling him that although members of the Rana tribe are regarded as rulers, you (********) work in the agriculture sector.
The incident grabbed the attention of netizens online who then harshly criticised the education minister for using ‘foul’ language during the ceremony.
Subsequently, Rana Tanveer apologised with his twitter handle @RTanveerPMLN saying, “Yesterday at GC University Lahore, i had a slip of tongue during my speech. I feel sorry about that and take my words back,”.
Sharing the video, one netizen commented, “This is the federal minister of education. Honestly, this government’s share of clowns is impressive.”
Another user wrote, “Here is PDM’s Federal Minister for Education Rana Tanveer addressing the graduates at the PMAS-Arid Agriculture University convocation. The complete system is rotten to the core.”
