"Apke kapry na-munasib hain:" PTI lawmaker slammed for moral policing KE official

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Muhammad Iqbal Afridi sparked controversy after he criticised Chief Communication Officer (CCO) K-Electric for her choice of clothing.

According to the details, the incident occurred during a session of the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Power.

The KE official attended the meeting to present her company's agenda over electricity production.

After the meeting, the PTI lawmaker tried moral policing the KE representative by complaining about her apparel choice to Committee Chairman, Muhammad Idress.

"Chairman Sahab, she has worn objectional clothes. There should be a SOP to attend NA meetings," Afridi said.

The comments raised the eyebrows of fellow lawmakers too, who were present at the meeting.

However, the Chairman committee apologised to the other members on behalf of Mr Iqbal.

On the other hand, Imran Khan's party's leader defended his comments while talking to the media after the meeting.

"[...] these types of dress will destroy our moral and ethical values. There should be some SOPs to attend National Assembly's meetings and everyone must abide by them. These clothes lead to unruly incidents," he said.
