Former president Asif Ali Zardari’s daughter Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari has expressed that not a single man should be allowed in public.
According to Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, single men should not be allowed out without being escorted by sisters, mothers, wives, or daughters.
Re my tweet banning men from public. I stand by it. Single men should not be allowed out without being escorted by sisters, mothers, wives or daughters – perhaps then they will think twice before assaulting women. With repeated & increasing incidents of assault no better option.

“I stand by it. Single men should not be allowed out without being escorted by sisters, mothers, wives or daughters – perhaps then they will think twice before assaulting women. With repeated & increasing incidents of assault no better option,” she posted.
Her tweet is the result of increasing cases of harassment in Lahore. The same day a TikToker Ayesha Akram was assaulted by a mob at Greater Iqbal Park near Minar-e-Pakistan, another young woman went through a similar ordeal in Lahore, a video of which has now surfaced on social media.

The incident apparently happened on the independence day, the same day TikToker Ayesha Akram was attacked by a mob of around 400 people gathered at the national monument to celebrate the country’s Independence Day.
