LAHORE: The Punjab government has distanced itself and condemned the misogynist and inappropriate remarks of provincial Law Minister Rana Sanaullah about women who attended Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Lahore rally.

Talking to Geo News, Punjab Government Spokesman Malik Ahmad Khan said the law minister should not have used such remarks for women and we must avoid using dirty language in politics.

Sanaullah on Monday said the PTI had brought professional male and female entertainers to dance at the event.

“The crowd at the PTI rally was traditional daily wagers. The families and the women that came with the dream of a change on October [30, 2011] appeared to have lost faith in Imran Khan’s politics of turncoats and obsession for power and therefore didn’t show up at all.”

His remarks were widely condemned and created an uproar on social media.

The Punjab minister, who is known for his outrageous comments against rivals, said the PML-N would field the top party leadership against the turncoats and the agents to slap an exemplary defeat in their face.

He said PTI Chairman Imran Khan had disappointed the millions who had rallied behind him in a hope for a change, but Imran proved himself as a symbol of ‘agenda’ instead of a symbol of change.
