She said, “No one has the right to comment over a woman’s attire,” speaking directly to Afridi.Don’t create a patriarchal culture. Who made you an outfit policeman?
Furthermore, the minister of communication denounced the PTI lawmaker’s action, stating that harassing women is unacceptable under any circumstances. The Tehreek-e-Insaf has evolved into an unjust movement for women called Tehreek-e-na-insaf.
