Islamabad (HRNW) Prime Minister Imran Khan has said in an interview with Axios on HBO that the “temptation” in Pakistani society would increase if women wore “very few clothes”.
“If a woman is wearing a very few clothes, it will have an impact on men unless they are robots,” PM Khan said in an interview with Jonathan Swan.
“I mean it is common sense.”
PM Khan was criticised in April after he termed obscenity a “western” and “Indian” concept, saying that he believes sexual crimes in Pakistan were rising because of a decline in pardah.
“The concept of pardah is [to] avoid temptation in the society,” the Pakistan premier said, while referring to his earlier statement. Pakistan doesn’t have discos or nightclubs and it is completely a different society, he added.
“If you raise temptation in the society to the point and all these young guys have nowhere to go, it has consequences in the society,” he said.
“If in a society people haven’t seen such sort of a thing, it will have an impact on them. If they grow up in a society like you, maybe it won’t happen.”
