Some people really didn’t mince words while bashing the political group for not taking action on this. There was a lot of support for Maryam Aurangzeb.

Though some people still believe we are reading too much into it. While Pakistan brags about higher women’s participation in politics helping its ranking on the gender equality index, it seems a lot more progress is needed.
The incident took place during a Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) jalsa. Which came following the recent series of events including the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan and the Parade Ground gathering in the capital Islamabad to show support for the premier.
