When Lodhi asked him to stop, the man said, "I am not going to stop. It is not against the law."
Saying that was not the manner of asking any question, Lodhi proceeded to climb stairs prompting the man to further say, "You guys are stealing our money. You guys are thieves....You don't deserve to represent Pakistan......Shame on you."
