“Be it Abid Sher Ali, Rana Sanaullah, Tallal Chaudhry or Imran Khan, I cannot tolerate this as these women are our mothers, sisters and daughters,” Malik said.
Sanaullah Lewd Remarks
Sanaullah, while speaking to reporters outside the Punjab Assembly yesterday, made objectionable comments about the women who attended the rally, saying: “The women who attended the rally were not from honourable families because their dance moves implied where they had actually come from.”
