Violation of women’s rights
ANIS HAROON
June 29 2006: THE incident which took place in the Sindh Assembly on June 21 is most unfortunate. It reflects the mindset of the so-called graduate assembly. If our MPAs get involved in eve-teasing and start harassing their colleagues, what can one expect from a common man on the street? Moreover, the leader of the house, instead of condemning such acts, held women responsible for their harassment and asked them to dress up in such a fashion that nobody looks at them.
What kind of rulers are these who are so conservative and disrespectful to women. How could the leader of the house forget that the same MPA harassed an MMA woman member who was covered from head to toe? Besides, how women dress up and carry themselves is a matter of personal choice. In Pakistan women are generally decently dressed and it is nobody’s business to admonish them. We will follow our own standards and the men should clear up their fuzzy minds. In the next elections women should not vote for men who are disrespectful, conservative and violate women’s rights.
