IT was shocking to see the videos of the PTI’s Lahore meeting where women were harassed and manhandled. This is shameful for the PTI top leadership also. The PTI leaders should take strict notice of these incidents and must not let this incident go unheard.

TV channels have aired these videos and have also shared them on their Facebook pages. This is undesirable as this identified the women who were harassed. Pemra must take notice of this.

The seating arrangements for men and women at public rallies should be separate, and also entrance and exit.
