The Lahore High Court (LHC) during the hearing of a petition to initiate a judicial inquiry into the incident said that the entire cabinet should apologize for the victim blaming comments made by CCPO lahore.

Strict action to be taken

The Lahore High Court (LHC) further lambasted the victim blaming statements saying, “A lot of ministers issued distasteful statements,” the court further said whether this was, “an investigation or a drama”.

Furthermore, Justice Qasim Khan asked about the investigation into the CCPO’s comments and said, “There should have been strict action to reassure this nation’s daughters,”

Defending victim-blaming remarks of CCPO

While many opposed the comment, Planning Minister Asad Umar and Adviser to the Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior, Shahzad Akbar both defended the officer.

Akbar told media, “I have spoken to him about it, he will tell you himself what he meant by it,” while Asad Umar said that the CCPO Lahore did not say “anything illegal”.

Controversy regarding victim-blaming comments

The victim blaming comments made by CCPO Lahore received a lot of hate and anger from the masses who took to social media demanding the removal of the officer from his post.

His comments involved putting blame on the victim for having taken her choice of route and question what she was doing out at night traveling with kids in the first place.
