Once again a comment made by Pakistan PM Imran Khan drew a lot of flak on the internet. He once again blamed a rise in the cases of sexual violence on the way women dress in the country.

He said in a recent interview, "If a woman is wearing very few clothes, it will have an impact on the men unless they are robots. It’s just common sense.”

He also said, “This is cultural imperialism. Whatever is acceptable in our culture, must be acceptable everywhere else. It's not.”

Now, his comments have stirred a massive outrage on social media and people are expressing their anger on the misogynistic ideology of Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan.

One user commented saying, “Imran Khan is r*pe apologist and hates women.”

Reema Omer, a legal advisor with the International Commission of Jurists, also expressed anger after  PM Imran Khan’s comments.

She took to Twitter and wrote, “Disappointing and frankly sickening to see PM Imran Khan repeat his victim-blaming regarding reasons for sexual violence in Pakistan Men are not “robots”, he says. If they see women in skimpy clothes, they will get “tempted” and some will resort to rape.”

In another video, Imran Khan blamed ‘obscenity’ for the rise in sexual violence in Pakistan on a live television interview and also advised the women to cover themselves up. He suggested this so that the men wouldn’t get tempted. He said, “This entire concept of purdah is to avoid temptation. Not everyone has the willpower to avoid it.”

Here’s what people have to say about Pakistan’s PM’s comments-

He think he is somehow correct
