Mohsin Naqvi Explained the Buggy Ride—But Completely Missed the Question

Mohsin Naqvi’s buggy clarification explains the delay but not Pakistan’s deeper problem: colonial VIP culture, weak accountability and public disrespect.

Did Naqvi admit that the incident was wrong?

He described what happened as “not appropriate,” while defending the two officials on the grounds that they initially resisted proceeding and ultimately followed instructions.

Was the buggy used illegally?

No illegality has been established in the publicly available reporting cited here. The unresolved issues concern protocol, proportionality, public expenditure, institutional judgement and political symbolism.

Why did the explanation intensify criticism?

Because it suggested that the carriage itself was considered acceptable for the intended chief guest. Many citizens were objecting to royal-style treatment for any public servant—not merely to the identities of the two men who received it.
