Maulana Tariq Jameel Admits His Mistake About Women

Renowned religious scholar Maulana Tariq Jameel has recovered from coronavirus and in a video message admitted that he didn’t know what the pathogen was before he contracted the disease himself and ostensibly apologized to women.

Perhaps, Maulana has finally realized what he earlier said about women being responsible for the spread of the virus was wrong.

Widely-admired  Maulana Tariq Jameel had earlier passed a disturbing statement that coronavirus has been unleashed on humanity because of the ‘wrongdoing of women’.

During a televised prayer, Maulana condemned women for dancing and for how they dress, saying these “immodest actions” have brought the Almighty’s wrath upon the country.

These misogynistic remarks were made during the Ehsaas Telethon fundraising event in the presence of the prime minister and top broadcast journalists.

Soon after the negative speech blaming women for the spread of coronavirus, there was an uproar by many, objecting to Maulana’s comments.

Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari criticized such thinking as ludicrous and ignorant.

Mazari said the idea “COVID19 pandemic is a result of women wearing short sleeves or [because] of private schools/universities misleading the youth is simply absurd”.

Simply absurd 4 anyone under any guise to even suggest the COVID19 pandemic is a result of women wearing short sleeves or bec of private schools/universities misleading the youth.This simply reflects either ignorance abt pandemics or a misogynist mindset. Absolutely unacceptable.

In the recent video which has been shared on the microblogging website Twitter, Maulana admitted that during the first wave of coronavirus, he had gotten a video uploaded and did not know what the pathogen was.

Sherry Rehman, a senator also called for an apology from the preacher after the speech deemed as sexist widely.

In her tweet, she said, “Why has Maulana Tariq Jameel not apologized to women yet? Because he needs to. He’s blaming this pandemic on Pakistani women’s alleged immodesty.  This is grossly slanderous on many levels, totally unacceptable. It’s time to take suo moto notice against him. He is encroaching on fundamental rights,” she tweeted.
