Resham slams Imran Khan over sexist remarks against Maryam Nawaz

LAHORE – Veteran Lollywood actor Resham has joined the celebrities slamming PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan over his sexist remarks against PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz during his Multan rally.

Khan created a furore as he took a jibe at the PML-N leader by saying that the way Maryam says his name again and again at her political gatherings, she might end up annoying her husband.

"Someone sent me a clip of Maryam's speech... Maryam took my name repeatedly so passionately that she should be careful… it might annoy her husband," Khan said to a cheering crowd in Multan yesterday.

His comments were widely condemned by Pakistani politicians, celebrities and public.

Reacting to Imran Khan’s objectionable remarks, Reshan wrote Instagram: “This derogatory statement about a woman is issued by a person who had earlier said that dress of a woman attracts men.”
