There have been so many conspiracies surrounding Ayesha Akram and the Minar-e-Pakistan incident. Now the TikToker is addressing all these accusations against her.
From being accused of playing the woman card, to staging a mass harassment incident in an anti-Pakistan ploy, there have been so many conspiracy theories surrounding the mass groping incident. However, these accusations like most conspiracies are limited to social media.
These theories rely heavily on victim shaming and blaming the victim for her TikTok videos and her dressing. Many also claim that since Ayesha called fans for a meet and greet, her getting harassed by the mob was justified.
In an interview with Urdu Point, the TikToker is addressing all these allegations against her.
According to the TikToker, she hadn’t called for a formal meet and greet. She went to the national site as she usually would.
“Whoever spread this rumor, it’s so easy to talk about someone’s respect, but you don’t know the pain I’m going through. Suppose It did call people (for a meet and greet), I didn’t ask them to come attack me. No women would want to be assaulted in front of the whole world.”
There were also rumors that the TikToker was wagging an Indian flag. Ayesha Akram clarified that she wasn’t holding the flag of any country, even of Pakistan.
On the matter of people claiming the victim was happy and unaffected on August 15 based on a picture she uploaded online, Ayesha Akram said she was trying to get back to normal. This is also why she didn’t take legal action right away.
“I uploaded that old picture for her family just to show them that I have returned to a normal life.”
As for the security guard that victim shamed her, whose video is circulating online, Ayesha called out how that the security guard should have called the security. Instead, he didn’t do his job.
Regarding rumors of her relationship with Rambo, a fellow TikToker she often collabs with, Ayesha asserted he’s like a little brother to her.
“He belongs to a needy family and I support him financially, … Rambo is like a little brother to me.”
Despite the fervent accusations online, police officials investigating the case have made no such discovery supporting any of these accusations.
Meanwhile, social media is also buzzing with Netizens demanding action against all participants of the mass harassment incident. Aside from the Minar-e-Pakistan incident, another mass harassment case emerged online.
A video of two women being harassed amid traffic on Independence Day caused an uproar. One of the culprits even committed assault and battery against one of the victims, by forcefully kissing her.
How does someone stage mass harassment? What possible rationale is behind these accusations aside from victim shaming? Let us know in the comments below.
