Washington/Islamabad: Pakistan Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was heckled by unidentified persons at the Dulles International Airport when he arrived in Washington to attend meetings with the global lending institutions and seek much-needed aid for the cash-strapped and flood-hit country.

In a video that went viral on Twitter on Thursday, Dar, accompanied by Pakistan’s Ambassador to US Masood Khan and other officials jeered at the airport. In the clips, the hecklers can be heard chanting slogans of “chor chor” directed towards Dar.

In one of the videos, a man can be heard shouting: “You’re a liar. You’re a chor”.

In his retort, Dar says: “You’re a liar.” Mani Butt, the president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party’s Virginia chapter — who accompanied Dar — can be seen exchanging profanities with the hecklers, the Dawn newspaper.
