In some countries, women are treated with utter lack of respect. They are treated like playthings, many are leered at and verbally abused. A good number are subject to harassment. However, an incident involving a woman on Independence Day in Lahore has taken molestation to new heights.
A woman was filming a Tiktok video with her friends at the Minar-e-Pakistan when a mob of around 400 men started teasing her. They then went unashamedly physical: they reportedly tore off her clothes and started stealing her cash, gold ornaments and even mobile phone.
The victim has lodged a complaint with Lari Adda police station.
Many celebrities and social media users have condemend this heinous incident.
Pakistan’s leading actress Mahira Khan took to her Twitter account and said, “I can’t believe what I just saw!!! I’ve said it before and I will say it again - make an example out of these men.”
In another tweet, the actress expressed her anger against this horrific incident and said, “Damn I’m sorry. I keep forgetting - it was Her fault!! Poor 400 men, they couldn’t help it. #MinarePakistan
TV actor Mansha Pasha said, “What they will say: Pakistan is the Islamic Republic and medinay ki riyasat.”
“What is the reality: Woman molested by 400 men at Minare Pakistan on Independence Day during Azaan.” The leading actress continued and said, “We preach religion and patriotism here but we follow hedonism and barbarism.”
Famous actor and singer Farhan Saeed also tweeted, “Disgusted, Furious, Heartbroken, Ashamed! “Ashamed of being a man today, ashamed that the men of this country keep doing these horrible acts every other day, ashamed that the law of my country does not hang these predators so that this doesn't happen again.” #MinarePakistan
Osman Khalid Butt added, “Another day, another incident, another moment we find ourselves collectively hanging our heads in shame.”
“Action, not just condemnation. Bring the perpetrators to justice.”
Actor and producer Adnan Siddiqui, actress Anoushey Ashraf, stars Imran Abbas, Zahid Ahmad, Mawra Hocane, and many more strongly condemned the barbaric act, and demanded justice.
