Imran Khan has provoked widespread criticism and been accused of blaming rape victims for their attacks, after implying women should cover up to prevent temptation.
Women s groups and leading politicians demanded Pakistan s prime minister apologise for comments where he also blamed sex attacks on imported vulgarity and obscenity.
The comments from the 68-year-old former cricketer “betray a baffling ignorance of where, why and how rape occurs,” the country s human rights commission said.
