00:00 We thought that in the politics of 1990, where it was not easy for women to exist in the public and political places,
00:08 we left that era far behind.
00:10 But unfortunately, in 2024, we still have to face such incidents, where we remember the politics of 1990.
00:19 The same incident happened in the assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa this week,
00:23 where the Soviet woman from KP, who was going to be a member of PMLN, was thrown shoes and slogans were raised against her.
00:31 How did this incident start?
00:33 It happened like this, that the Soviet woman flung a pot and a clock.
00:38 Has this not happened before in the politics of Pakistan?
00:42 Was this happening for the first time?
00:44 She is a member of a minority opposition, she flung a pot and a clock.
00:48 So what kind of a disaster was it that the shoes were thrown at her?
00:53 In the politics of Pakistan, there is such agitational politics.
00:56 Personally, I don't like this kind of politics.
00:59 I don't find it dignified.
01:01 But is this happening for the first time in Pakistan?
01:03 No.
01:04 Today, I will show you.
01:05 I got two visuals from the National Assembly today.
01:08 I thought I would show you.
01:09 This is just a tradition of such politics in Pakistan.
01:14 Today, Mr. Sher Afzal Marwat was holding a boot and Mr. Jamshed Dasti was carrying a shoe with a polish and a box.
01:22 So, this is the theatrics in the politics of Pakistan.
01:25 Personally, I don't like it that much.
01:26 But it is a tradition that is not new at all.
01:30 So, when the Soviet woman was flung her pot and a clock, she was thrown shoes.
01:35 Throwing shoes was not enough.
01:37 After that, I want to make you listen to what kind of disgusting slogans were raised by the Assembly.
01:42 And those words are such that we cannot repeat.
01:45 We cannot broadcast it on TV.
01:46 I will show you by beeping.
01:47 But you will understand what kind of video it is.
01:49 Just watch.
01:50 These are the same slogans that Sheikh Rasheed used to address the wife in the year 1990.
02:03 We will get to hear this in 2024.
02:05 I never thought about this.
02:06 I thought we have gone too far.
02:08 But we are going back to that time.
02:10 So, this is not the end of the story.
02:13 After that, I saw that there were some people in the Assembly who raised disgusting slogans and also made gestures.
02:20 I asked the PTI people in KP who are these people.
02:23 They said they are not elected members.
02:25 But they were raising slogans from the crowd in Ayyawn.
02:29 These disgusting gestures that are being made, if you see the face of this person, who is very clear,
02:34 it is not difficult to identify him, nor is it difficult to identify those who raise disgusting slogans.
02:40 When Ali Amin Gandapur was asked why this was happening in Ayyawn,
02:44 because justice is in the majority there,
02:46 the atmosphere there is such that such harassment or sexual harassment should not be done there,
02:54 what was his answer to this?
02:56 A woman herself is sick.
02:58 She wants to get herself on the media.
03:00 We don't have a cure for it.
03:02 If a woman comes and harasses a man,
03:06 then the answer will come from the government.
03:08 She is our sister. I have told her to avoid this.
03:11 You don't do this. You are our sister.
03:13 Then, God willing, this will not happen again.
03:15 So, we were not expecting this statement from a CM of a province.
03:21 We thought he would say that whatever happened in Ayyawn,
03:24 these disgusting slogans that were raised, these gestures were wrong.
03:28 This is not the answer to this that she asked for it.
03:31 Or she must have done something that such slogans would have been raised.
03:34 We thought that the Chief Minister would also say that we have identified those people,
03:39 and we will punish them, hold them accountable, and we will condemn them.
03:44 Along with this, we are also calling for an inquiry as to how such people came to Ayyawn.
03:48 And we will also ensure that this will not happen again.
03:51 But we were not satisfied with any statement of the CM
03:55 that whether the government is in the mood to conduct an inquiry or not.
03:58 So, if you cannot condemn this, if you cannot punish such people,
04:02 then this will be considered as silent support.
04:05 It is also important to find out where these people came from in Ayyawn.
04:09 Who brought them here?
04:11 Were they doing this under a policy?
04:13 If they were not doing it under a policy, they were doing it on their own.
04:16 This is also a problematic thing.
04:17 But will this not happen in the Assembly in the future?
04:20 How will this be ensured?
04:21 And if the issue has come to the point of slogans and slogans,
04:25 will this not become a big issue in the future?
04:29 How will we stop this?
04:30 These are many such questions that the government of Khair-e-Pakhtunkhwa has to answer.
04:34 Because it is clear that a woman is not just someone who aligns with your political ideology.
04:42 If you talk about a woman's honour for women who align with your political ideology,
04:49 then you should ensure that this is across the board.
04:52 And for a woman who has different views from you,
04:55 you should have the right to speak and protest in the environment where you are the majority.
05:01 And if this is the basis of this, and it will not be addressed yet,
05:06 then we can see such other issues from Khair-e-Pakhtunkhwa in the future.
05:10 And if the government is not stopping this, then the government is not expressing any concern about this.
05:16 As women, we all have to express a lot of concern about this.
05:20 And in 2024, it is not our job to make a difference between political provocation and sexual harassment.
05:27 Everyone should know this.
05:29 What Sobia did was a political provocation.
05:31 Personally, I do not like this style of politics.
05:34 But in response to this, the slogans that were raised, the signals that were pointed out,
05:39 this was sexual harassment, this was a provocation against sexual harassment.
05:44 There is a lot of difference between the two.
05:46 Before going into the segment, I would also like to show that Sobia Sahiba is standing on one side,
05:50 standing near Ali Amin Gavandapur Sahib, recording the protest,
05:58 and seeing that she is being ignored.
06:01 This is the right way.
06:02 If there is any political provocation, it can be ignored.
06:06 But it is not appropriate to raise bad signals and slogans.
06:10 The protest has just started.
06:12 It has been four to five years.
06:14 Will we continue to see this?
06:16 So, it is the responsibility of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to stop such incidents.
06:21 This is what has been identified by those who have done all this.
06:25 In 2024, it is not necessary to say such basic things.
06:29 Do not call this country's politics for women again in the second half of 1990.
