Imran Khan made yet another inappropriate remark about women getting harassed during a conversation with delegations of the National Press Club and the Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ).

When asked about women getting harassed during PTI Jalsas, PTI Chairman said he would issue special instructions for his supporters in this regard, he then spoke about TV anchor Gharida Farooqi and said “If she would invades male-dominated spaces, then she is bound to be harassed,” according to Geo News.

Journalist and president of NCP, Anwar Raza, quoted Imran as saying: “Gharida grabs the mic and forces her way through men which makes it equivalent to aa bail mujhe maar. Tell me what can I do in such a situation.”

Journalists took to Twitter to come to Farooqi’s defense, with many questioning if it was a crime for a female journalists to navigate through men.
