He also warned that no one is allowed to harass and subject a girl to any kind of violence based on her dressing. One should be man enough to control how he feels, he maintained.
The journalist has been receiving immense flak on social media as Twitteratis accuse him of running an anti-Pakistan campaign with his comments. While interviewing Ayesha Akram, the victim of the Minar-e-Pakistan incident, Iqrar-ul-Hassan said he thanks God for not being blessed with a daughter due to the rising sex crimes against women in Pakistan.
