PTI Lawmaker Sher Afzal Marwat’s Statement
"Mr Shafi Jan! Today you tried to politically wound Maryam Nawaz and Uzma Bukhari, but ended up targeting your own party’s moral standing." (Sher Afzal Marwat)
Marwat continued, emphasizing that:
- "PTI’s real strength lay in the oppression and victimhood it faced."
- "Dragging women’s marriages, character, and private lives into politics is neither bravery, nor a Pashtun tradition."
- "Defending Shafi Jan’s speech was more difficult than condemning it."
KP Information Minister’s Response
Shafi Jan, in response, clarified his remarks about Uzma Bukhari during an interview on Geo News. He proposed that if Uzma Bukhari apologized for her previous statements, he would also refrain from further comments.
Additional Criticism
Hiba Fawad, wife of former minister Fawad Chaudhry, condemned Shafi Jan’s language regarding Uzma Bukhari as extremely shameful and condemnable. She emphasized:
- "Political differences are one thing, but insulting a woman is unacceptable under any circumstances."
- "Women must be respected."
She called on Shafi Jan to clarify his words and apologize for the inappropriate language used.
