In a recent podcast appearance, renowned Pakistani gastroenterologist and social commentator Dr. Affan Qaiser stirred public discourse by delivering a hard-hitting critique on the moral, religious, and social decay he perceives in Pakistani society.

The podcast gained instant traction on social media, particularly due to the host’s controversial claim: “Girls go on Umrah visas to Saudi Arabia to commit crime.” This single line, charged with religious and social implications, triggered widespread backlash and debate.

The highlights of the podcast of Dr. Affan Qaiser with Molana Yousaf Jameel are as follows:

“Unfortunately, in our society, we call ourselves Muslim, but the software of religion has been deleted.”

“The example of religion is like the software in your mobile phone; if the software is not there, the hardware will not work.”

Criticizing the glamour of influencers and the monetization of personal lives, they commented:

“Open social media for 24 hours, and you will be told to do this and that, and you will earn so much money. In fact, they are showing dollars being counted and thrown around.”

“Women are now taking their phones and making videos at home, and there is no doubt that they are monetizing on YouTube,” the podcast stated.

“Women start sitting on TikTok live at night, receiving money from outside, and then divorces happen, and homes are destroyed.”

They went on to say:

“Divorce rates are increasing, and women are celebrating their divorces on social media.”
“Women prefer to have an iPhone instead of a stable home life.”

“A person told me a phrase, and he said something significant: ‘Men have always been like this; nowadays, women are not being handled properly.’”
