Men and women from different walks of life are condemning the recent misogynistic and derogatory remarks, made by PML-N leaders Rana Sanaullah and Abid Sher Ali in reference to the women attending the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) rally in Lahore on Sunday.

Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah had commented about PTI’s female supporters staying: “The women who attended the rally were not from honourable families because their dance moves implied where they had actually come from."
