PM Imran passes 'sexist' remarks against Bilawal, calls him 'Sahiba'


Prime Minister Imran Khan passed on Wednesday sexist remarks against Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, calling him ‘Sahiba’ during an address in South Waziristan.

“I came into power through struggle and hard work unlike Bilawal ‘Sahiba’ (miss) who, using the will of her mother became the head of political party,” he said at the public gathering.

Very, very small. Calling Bilawal Bhutto Sahiba (madam) doesn’t belittle him at all. It just demonstrates Imran Khan’s lowness, indecency, and sexism. An insult to the office of the PM.

Sahiba is a title in Urdu which means miss or madam.

Meanwhile, the prime minister reiterated his earlier stance of not sparing the country’s corrupt.

He spoke at length about money laundering and its adverse impact on the economy, alleging that the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz and PPP looted the country’s wealth and sent it abroad through illegal means.

“I know the people of the tribal areas are in despair but let me assure you I will address your all grievances in a time to come,” he told the gathering. “We want peace and not violence in the tribal areas.”
