LAHORE – Former Pakistani actress Veena Malik has spoken up in support of Prime Minister Imran Khan after his questionable remarks terming Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal as ‘sahiba’ (Miss) caused an uproar online on social media throughout the country.
Earlier, Prime Minister Imran Khan faced flak on Wednesday after he referred to Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto as ‘sahiba’, while addressing a gathering in Wana, the premier lashed out at PPP supremo and said unlike Bilawal Bhutto ‘sahiba’ (madam), he struggled a lot to come this far.

In support, Veena also narrated a story ‘True story… Once I gave someone so much respect and with each passing day, he was becoming a monster! Then I understood someone corrupt to the core won’t understand how to make a respectful conversation.So I went down to his level to make him understand a thing…It worked.”

Addressing a press conference, Adviser to Chief Minister Sindh on Law, Anti-Corruption Establishment, and Information Murtaza Wahab said Pakistan’s economic situation was worsening. “Instead of taking the nation into confidence, the prime minister is busy making political statements. Instead of providing relief to the common man, PM Imran is passing below the belt comments. We condemn his sexist remarks. The party will not condone uncouth statements. You are the prime minister, passing such crude comments is below the position you hold.
