ISLAMABAD—Moeed Pirzada, a presenter at 92 News Television has published a poll on Twitter claiming Pakistan would get more powerful if all women start to wear hijab.
He said: “Afghan Taliban have defeated America with the power of faith & divine support; imposition of Sharia will further empower them; we need to follow them with Sharia to become more successful; as first step, all Pakistani women should start wearing hijab to make us more Powerful!”
Over 18,500 people had voted on the poll, with over 66 percent people in favor of imposing hijab on all women in Pakistan. While many have echoed his thoughts about the hijab, the tweet attracted a lot of criticism from both men and women.
Pirzada, after being criticized for his comment on social media, claimed that it was satire.
“Since satire is not understood; here is simple English: Far from following Taliban’s way of life we need to encourage them to open up to the world, create an inclusive Govt with women participation to get international acceptability – needed for stability,” he said in another tweet.
