A viral video shows journalists boycotting a presser held by Pakistani Water and Resources minister Faisal Vawda over his inappropriate remarks. The 30-second video shows a group of journalist confronting the minister over growing corruption in the district.

As per sources, the journalist's question irked Vawda, and he responded that he was only answering because the journalist was elderly to him. Vawda also said that he would not have even spoken on it and put aside the mic if this were someone else.

The Pakistani minister's rude remarks provoked the journalists who staged a walkout and took back their mics, boycotting the press conference. Take a look.
