and the Role of Women Politicians
The current country's politics and its changing shades are nothing short of a Bollywood thriller, but a topic that is generally ignored is the personal attacks on female politicians and their portrayal on social media. This is also our general attitude towards women as a nation. What is more alarming is that showbiz and media personalities who are watched by millions of people can be considered complicit in this heinous practice instead of forming a better and more responsible opinion.
Recently, a tweet of famous showbiz personality Veena Malik was seen in which very vulgar words were used about Muslim League (N) leader Maryam Nawaz and the mere mention of it is embarrassing for an intelligent person. Will be. The streak didn't end there but as a result of this tweet people on social media got another opportunity to attack the personality of Maryam Nawaz. But the problem is not only talking about the personal life of female politicians on social networks, the sad fact is that the role of women in the politics of our country has been played since the beginning and all that immorality under the guise of political differences. Crossing the limits is an old habit of these selfish politicians.
History is a witness that even Fatima Jinnah was not spared. Many people still remember the personal attack on her by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in a meeting where he said they should ask her why she is not getting married.
After that, even the people themselves became victims of such behavior, and their character assassination by political opponents is not hidden from anyone. It is also a part of history that the act of dropping indecent photographs of Begum Nusrat Bhutto and former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto from a helicopter was also included in the high tactics of Muslim League-Nun leaders. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recently paid tribute to Benazir Bhutto, describing her as a good example for women in politics, while here we still have this prejudice against women. .
In addition, the women of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf also faced such treatment, where political opponents not only spoke about Imran Khan's sisters in general, but also criticized the women who came to the sit-in unnecessarily, and the party The word "Mujre" was used for women waving flags in anthems. Former first lady Bushra Bibi has been described as a "little pirni and a witch" and strange stories about her are circulating not only in political circles but also in the media.
Parliament, which is the most important institution of the country, instead of respecting the respect of women, instead of considering the respect of women, uses insulting words and words like "tractor cart" by Khawaja Asif for Mrs. Evidence of mental retardation. As a student of sociology, I would criticize the attitudes of the whole society in which we see a lack of respect for women. Here, abusive behavior towards women is common male behavior. In a country where people express anger and disapproval against each other by abusing a mother, sister, daughter, their role-playing in political circles and social media platforms is a reflection of this social ill.
This behavior can also be seen at political gatherings and television talk shows, where not only mutual respect is thrown in the name of criticism in the name of political debates, but also violent rudeness occurs. In countries like Pakistan, where politics is notorious on the one hand, such attitudes are on the other hand a major obstacle to women's participation in politics. A careful observation of this entire political scenario shows that there is a need for reforms not only in politics but also in the moral training of political leaders and representatives so that their workers and common people also follow in their footsteps in the future. Demonstrate political awareness and good moral character as you walk.
In society, respect and protection should be ensured not only for women in the home, but also for women who work outside the home and enter politics, otherwise this society will itself be responsible for its backwardness and the decline of moral values.
