Zartaj Gul Wazir, the Federal Minister for Climate Change, blasted at JUI-F’s leader Hafiz Hamdullah for his sexist and misogynistic remarks against her, in anchorperson’s Nadeem Malik show on Samaa TV.
The federal minister shared a small video clip from the show, censuring Hafiz Hamdullah for his obnoxious remarks against her in a related viral video. Zartaj Gul Wazir said she could not reply to him earlier because she was devastated by a mishap in the family when his video with highly disgraceful remarks against her floated on social media.
میں قبائلی ہوں اور بدفطرت گھٹیا لوگوں کو ان کے منہ پر جواب دینا جانتی ہوں۔ حافظ حمداللہ جیسے غلیظ سوچ والے شخص کی ہمارے میڈیا پر کوئی گنجائش نہیں ہونی چایئے۔ یہ شخص ہمارے مذہب کو بدنام کر رہا ہے اور شیطانی ذہن کا مالک ہے، دوسروں کی ماوں بیٹیوں کے بارے میں اس کی باتیں مکروہ ہیں۔ pic.twitter.com/lXsdmW9wLc

Hence, she is utilizing this opportunity to take to cleaners Hafiz Hamdullah. Zartaj Gul Wazir continued to blast Hafiz Hamdullah and said that no one is safe from his vitriol. Zartaj said that not only Hafiz Hamdullah should apologize to her but also the nation as well. Adding that people like him have disreputed religious clerics. She demanded JUI-F chief, Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman to take notice of his misogynistic remarks.
She said Nadeem Malik to ask him if he realizes the respect of women, doesn’t he have a mother, daughter, sister, and wife?
“I am only registering my protest on your show,” the state minister said, calling for a “social boycott” of the JUI-F leader.

The federal minister said she has not joined politics in admiration of someone’s physical charm or to plunder public money but because her young brother was martyred in IED blast and her father believes Imran Khan is the only capable leader to lead the country. His father wanted Imran Khan to become premier so that no one loses their young sons to terrorism and violence.
Anchorperson Nadeem Malik also demanded Hafiz Hamdullah to apologize to Zartaj Gul Wazir for disrespecting her. Zartaj Gul Wazir said it would be a social disgrace to sit with a man like Hafiz Hamdullah and left the show.
In the captions of the video, Zartaj Gul Wazir wrote, that she is a tribal headstrong woman, who knows how to show vile people like Hafiz Hamdullah their place.
She said that people with such a malicious mindset must not be allowed on TV channels because people like him have ruined the image of Islam. He should not be allowed to disrespect other women.
