Female lawmakers rise above party ranks to slam PM Imran’s sexist remarks


Prime Minister Imran, while addressing a public gathering in Wana, South Waziristan a day earlier, had referred to Bilawal as sahiba. He had said: “Unlike Bilawal sahiba, I didn’t come into politics through a chit like the last will of his mother that gave him the political party in inheritance. There will be no leniency for those who had plundered national wealth.”As the National Assembly session resumed on Thursday, female MNAs gathered at the speaker’s dais and raised a ruckus over the premier’s remarks. “This humiliation, misogyny and hatred are not against the PPP or Bilawal,” she pointed out while adding that this is a reflection of misogynistic thinking. She added that the explanations issued after the premier’s remarks were also sad and called a “slip of [the] tongue”.
