Bilawal used the term ‘samjhti to refer to premier during his talk. He said “Khan sahib samajhti hai.” while clearly the word is used to refer to women in the language. Bilawal by using a gendered term of ‘samjhti’ made a sexist remark against the premier.
What a shame !

Bilawal said that if any person refers to a man as a woman then nothing will happen to a man. “But what message does it give to the women of the country? Our PM thinks that being a woman in an insult,” he added.
Degree is not education but education is degree.

On the other hand, Sheikh Rasheed defending PM Khan stated that “There are many people who don’t use the gendered terms correctly,”
“What difference does it make? People don’t need to take it so seriously.” “Even if you paint a donkey, it won’t make him a zebra. A donkey is a donkey and a zebra is a zebra,” added Sheikh Rasheed.
