‘Utterly Disgusting’, Twitter reacts to Anchor Imran Khan’s video justifying Noor Mukadam’s murder

A video clip of television Anchor Imran Khan is making rounds on social media, in which Imran can be heard drawing parallels between Noor Mukadam’s murder and her lack of telephonic conversation with her father.

I’m shocked at Imran Khan’s ‘views’ on why #ZahirJaffer murdered #NoorMuqaddam. This vile man has not right to call himself a journalist and honestly, he should not even be allowed to have a platform on national TV anymore because he believes talking to men can get you beheaded. pic.twitter.com/DKjWTy9w13

I'm going to translate the article I wrote recently into urdu and get it published in urdu newspapers. Misogynists and rape apologists have no limits and now we're justifying beheadings. Victim blaming needs to stop right now. https://t.co/GCJpqAMaaH

Can't use the kind of language needed to respond to this clip so will only say that this is sick, disgusting and vile. This man does not deserve a platform of any kind, anywhere, ever. https://t.co/ehcYMEIsdG

This is disgusting, dangerous and needs to be reported. This is what Pakistan's women are up against. Dark times. https://t.co/X3N2fLCd3T

Imran reacted to the criticism against him by unapologetically posting a screenshot of Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari’s conversation in a private group, which is a breach of her privacy.

یہ وفاقی وزیر شیریں مزاری کا میرے خلاف ایک گروپ میں پیغام ہے۔ صرف اس لیے کہ میں نے نور مقدم کیس میں خاندانی نظام میں خرابی اور والدین اور بچوں میں حد سے زیادہ فاصلوں کی نشاندہی کی تھی۔ خونی لبرلز کو آگ تو لگے گی۔ اور چھپے لبرلز بے نقاب بھی ہوں گے۔ #خونی_لبرلز_بےلگام pic.twitter.com/2xVmujqqwd
