‘It Was My Own Land’: Minister Ali Amin Gandapur Defends Making Underage Son Drive Car

Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs Ali Amin Gandapur is being criticised on social media for making his underage son drive his car along with two other men in the backseat. The child driving the car looks 10 or 11 years old. When journalist Mansoor Ali Khan posted the video and called out the minister, he proceeded to justify his action saying that it was his ‘own land’. He added that the law doesn’t apply in this case as it was not a road.
Firstly traffic law applies on road , highway or motorway so no law is violated upgrade ur knowledge secondly it’s my own land my own vehicle and my own son and thirdly grow up mr mansoor ali khan and others who negatively commented and mind ur own businesses
