Sharmila Faruqi has criticised Pakistani dramas for showing violence and physical abuse against women. The politician took to her Instagram account to share a screenshot from the drama Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 of a scene in which a husband is slapping his wife.

“Why can’t our dramas show a husband having a normal conversation with his wife? Why do our women have to be resorted violence and physical abuse at the drop of a hat?”

“What you show in these dramas is what most of our people will emulate.. In the last episode of khuda aur mohabbat, Nazim shah slaps his wife Sahiba while questioning her about her visit to the mazaar with Mahi.”

“This could have been a very normal conversation between the couple but unfortunately our writers revel in the fact that once a man is angry he will resort to violence towards the women in his life. Can we show some decent man who do believe in respecting a woman?”, she concluded.

The politician earlier schooled Gohar Rasheed for his stance on the slap scene in Laapata.
