Legislator for the PPP Marvi Faseeh sent a resolution denouncing motivational speaker Sahil Adeem’s disparaging remarks about women on a recent TV appearance to the Sindh Assembly Secretariat on Thursday.
Adeem claimed on the TV program Mukalma, presented by controversial screenwriters Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and Ayesha Jehanzeb, that 95% of women in the nation were “jahil” (ignorant). When a woman in the crowd challenged him on this, he became even more adamant.
There was an intense response against Adeem as a result of the manner he conducted the interaction with the audience member. Among those criticizing him was lawyer Jibran Nasir.
In accordance with Sub-Rule (1) of Rule 124 of the Rules of Procedure of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh, 2013, Faseeh filed the resolution.She denounced the “so-called motivational speaker’s” comments in her resolution. The statement demanded legal action against Shahil Adeem, stating that his remarks “are a severe affront to our religious, social, and legal values, which have caused great offence to women at large.”
