Jaime Goldsmith, the ex-wife of Prime Minister Imran Khan, has reacted to a recent statement by her ex-husband about women's clothing and 'rape', saying she believed that Imran Khan's statement was intentional. Must have been removed incorrectly.
It may be recalled that Prime Minister Imran Khan, while answering the questions of the people directly on the telephone on April 4, in response to a question asked by a woman about the rising number of rape cases in the country, said nudity or bold women's clothing. Rape was linked to events.
The prime minister had said that this was not the case in Britain many years ago, but when women promoted nudity and started wearing shorts, the incidence of 'rape' increased and then pornography made up for the rest.
The prime minister had said that "the more obscenity there is in society, the more it will have effects and that not every human being has the power to stop himself."

The Prime Minister's statement was condemned by many political, social figures and organizations, while now his ex-wife also broke the silence on his statement.
Although Jaime Goldsmith did not disagree with Imran Khan's statement in several tweets, she did not explicitly support him and expressed the view that the statement of the Prime Minister of Pakistan may have been misinterpreted.
I'm hoping this is a misquote/ mistranslation. The Imran I knew used to say, "Put a veil on the man's eyes not on the woman." https://t.co/NekU0QklnL

Jaime Goldsmith shared a link to an article in the British Daily Mail in a tweet, which discussed the Prime Minister's statement.
In another tweet, she suggested that Prime Minister Imran Khan's statement may have been misinterpreted or misinterpreted, because the Imran Khan she knows is not like that.
In another tweet, Jaime Goldsmith also narrated an incident in the Islamic country of Saudi Arabia and clarified that the issue is not women's clothing. I remember years ago being in Saudi Arabia and an elderly woman in an abaya & niqab was lamenting the fact that when she went out she was followed & harassed by young men. The only way to get rid of them was to take her face covering OFF.
The problem is not how women dress!
