LAHORE: Pakistani actress and host Iffat Omar has once again landed into hot waters by making insensitive remarks over punishment for rapists in Pakistan.

In a recent clip, the host is seeing making an insensitive joke centering around rapists. With the ongoing issues related to rape and the safety of women in the country, and how a convicted person should be punished, Omar joked about the sensitive topic which in no time went viral on social media.

You can disagree on the type of punishment for a rapist and suggest what kind of punishment you want for such hardcore criminals. But how can you be so insensitive and stupid to start joking about such a serious issue/crime? Disgusting @IffatOmar pic.twitter.com/avIK8MkbiD

Omar chatted about the castration of dogs. Moreover, she also compared it to that of the rapists while addressing a political subject. Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan had suggested chemical castration for rapists and child molesters.

The netizens were not happy with her remarks and they started posting with her name’s hashtag to express their displeasure:

Iffat Omar hitting a new low every time.

Queen of cheap stunts, with baseless comedy on such a serious & sensitive issue. She needs moral grooming before leading as a public figure.#iffatomar pic.twitter.com/TEABYyaK8R
