It is quite common that we hear sweeping statements that indicates that the army officials are privileged in this country. Citizens believe that the army officials are capable of making and breaking the laws without being held accountable. This even goes to the fact that they can mend certain laws, such as violating the traffic rules and thinking they will get away with it.
This Is Something That Was About to Happen in One of the Roads of Karachi
A video that was seen surfacing all over the internet showed a brave traffic warden rerouting a Navy jeep from the roads of Karachi. He stood firm on the ground and made sure that the jeep did not break any laws only because it was of someone who belongs from the navy. He moved with the jeep when it was violating the rules and made sure that the driver followed the law. Furthermore, the warden, in a civilized manner, argued with the driver and made sure that he turns back and follows the rules like everyone else.
In case you haven’t seen the video, here’s what happened:

Now This Created an Uproar On Social Media As Well
As mentioned earlier, the civilians believe the officials wearing army uniform can mend the rules and get away with using their privilege. This, indeed, made everyone pretty furious!
Allah esay maghroor army officers ko taba o barbad kray jo Qanoon our Ayeen ki khelaaferzi kerthay hien, Aameen

Yep!
I hope Military Officers shall not deal it "PERSONALLY". It's matter of law violation, they shall look it as per their laws and rules.

PREACH

If you have some sort of legal power you should not bow to the wrong mighty ones.— M A IMRAN LODHI (@MAIMRANLODHI1) July 26, 2019
Some Believe that this Has Nothing to Do With Being from the Army
It's not about Army
This is pathetic bloody old school mentality shown by this individual driver in uniform.
The Mind set needs to be changed. Really shameful. If someone can identify number plate serious action can be taken against this indl.

It’s about all the “sarkari” elite class either army, civil servants, politicians, their familyrelatives, lawyers and a long list

But Then Again…
It’s about army and it’s not acceptable behaviour at all. Every body is equal but this nasty behaviour from top ranked army officers is common.

Someone Raised How the Warden Needs to Be Rewarded for Taking Such a Swift Action
Warden should be rewarded & army officer should be reprimanded @ImranKhanPTI @OfficialDGISPR & investigation report should be made public thanks!!!

This is indeed an example for all; for the wardens to make sure not to bow down and for the army officials to make sure not to breach the laws and rules.
