Netizens strongly condemn “misogynist remarks” by Imran Khan

A former prime minister of Pakistan, whose previous tenure saw unprecedented attacks against women journalists on social media, strongly believes that women journalists should not report and that women should not be in public spaces.

This statement should concern all of us. https://t.co/hbhrUxxNYG

PTI supporters should realise that Imran Khan's statement is not just against Gharida Farooqi, but is dangerous for all the women including PTI women. Imran Khan has given legitimacy to all the abusers, who will use his statement to justify their actions.

Dear @ImranKhanPTI
You may disagree with Gharida Faruqi's style of journalism, her views and her leaning towards certain party, but to use vulgar language about her is a very shameful and despicable act. Shame
Stand with @GFarooqi #PSL8 #imrankhanPTI #GharidaFarooqi https://t.co/40hfkoYOpI

Why are we acting shocked at #ImranKhan comment on @GFarooqi ? This is the mindset of most (& all PTI) men in #Pakistan . A woman who has an opinion ,brilliance, a voice & steps out of her home to pursue her goals/career is “asking for it”
More strength to you @GFarooqi
