Rohail Hyatt & Jawad Indulge in Nasty Feud Provoked by PM’s Rape Comments

Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent comments on rape have ignited social media. Moreover, a debate has been triggered among the masses, even his ex-wife Jamaima Goldsmith does not like Khan’s statement. Rohail Hyatt & Jawad Indulge in Nasty Feud Provoked by PM’s Rape Comments.

PM’s rape comment gets Rohail & Jawad Into Ugly Fight has divided the social media. It all spurred when renowned singer Jawaid Ahmad called out the Coke Studio founder Rohail Hyatt for his comments about modest dressing while morally supporting Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Hyatt is strongly bashed by the Twitter arena

Hyatt was severely disparaged on Twitter after he backed up PM’s impervious comment. He shared that the latter’s statement on rape had been taken out of context. The former Vital Signs member wrote, 

“I believe Imran Khan’s words have been taken out of context and a big ruckus is being created by the so-called champions of freedom and liberty.” 

He’s not saying it’s justified! As a leader he’s simply speaking to us about the ground realities of what is around us. Yes indeed there is a sickness out there and one can contest if the better solution is to target the oppressor as opposed to the oppressed.

There’s a sad trend by a certain group to attack IK on all such matters labelling him as a ‘right-minded’ individual. I see him closer to centre but to every leftist out there, even the centre is way to too much to the right.

Rohail Hayat & Jawad Indulge in Nasty Feud Provoked by PM’s Rape Comments

Jawad Ahmad gets annoyed and called out Hayat

 “Why are you talking stupid? Will you tell us which dresses are modest and which are not?” 

Why are you talking stupid?

Will you tell us which dresses are modest & which are not?

Will you get into your child’s wardrobe & point out which dress once worn would keep her safe in the society?

What if a dress you choose is still disapproved by majority?#DontJustifyRape https://t.co/qELCAF4LdG

Both singers indulge in a revolting fight, Hayat responded to Mehendi singer,

“Because I am stupid. Since you’re wise, you can say wise things. See there’s balance in the universe. Something to be appreciated perhaps?”

The feud did not stop here….

In response, Ahmad concluded that Hyatt is just manipulating and have no idea of what is actually going on.

Everyone creates her/his own balance according to one’s socio economic conditions, situations & placement in life.There is no one specific centre for any one. Leftists and rightists also believe themselves to be in the centre. This is mere jugglery of words. #DontJustifyRape

— Jawad Ahmad (@jawadahmadone) April 11, 2021

The argument further became offensive…

Ahmad believed the ex-Coke Studio producer was only playing poor people’s minds and trying to confuse them.

One can never be sure and its not even important. There is always going to be a position for everyone, imaginary or real. Like I said you are just wasting your time in fallacy of language and jugglery of words. I never judge anyone except the hypocrites. Those I just can’t stand. https://t.co/2t9kAxSWCD

— Jawad Ahmad (@jawadahmadone) April 11, 2021

I am only doing it because you are confusing people over a simple thought but serious matter. #DontJustifyRape I’m a political person. I want to change this country for the well being of 90% its poor people. Its very important to give them clarity of thought than confusing them. https://t.co/qJig0qgxCv

I repeatedly asked Rohail Hayat that

‘Which dresses would he like women/girls of Pakistan to wear to look modest enough to minimise the chance of getting raped by men who can not control themselves’.

but he kept escaping it.

Now putting the same question to Imran Khan. https://t.co/AErUWTFXmH

Ultimately, after swapping loads of more tweets, Ahmad put the ball in PM’s court to answer his question.

PM Khan’s statement that made the masses fuming

In a recent telethon, Khan blamed ‘fahashi’ [obscenity] for the rise in sexual crime against women and children in the country. More so, he labeled this vulgarity as a Western and an Indian import. Not only did he link the ubiquity of obscene behavior to sexual crimes but also camouflaged that these can somehow be ‘prevented’ if women observe ‘purdah’.

His exact words, that smoldered many

‘purdah would lessen the temptation of those who lack willpower.’ 

People are not ready to digest Khan’s words and censure the rampant victim-blaming culture. Meanwhile, the nation demands an apology from the PM.
