Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has been criticised after he said that wearing the traditional Islamic head covering will protect women from sexual assault and not lead men into temptation.
Mr Khan made the comments on Sunday in a live tele-chat dubbed “Prime Minister On Call With You” streamed by state-owned Pakistan Television in which he answers questions from the public.
A cricket star who had a reputation as a womaniser before he turned to politics and became devoutly religious, Mr Khan said women who wear the veil would not tempt men into attacks remarks that women’s rights activists said excuse rapists and put the blame on women.
