Pakistanis offended by Chinese embassy official's 'Hijab off' tweet; slam him for 'insulting Islam'
A video posted on Twitter by China's Cultural Counsellor at the Chinese embassy in Pakistan has backfired on him. Zhang Heqing recently tweeted a video of a dancing Chinese girl with the caption: "Off your hijab, let me see your eyes. #Xinjiang dance".
The tweet has not gone well with Pakistani citizens as the hijab is considered a sacred piece of clothing that women cover their heads with. As a result, scores of Twitter users in Pakistan slammed Heqing for "insulting" Islam, asking him to delete the tweet immediately. One even said that the tweet might strain China-Pakistan relations.
