Pakistani
singer Atif Aslam was in the middle of performing a concert in Karachi
when he spotted a girl being molested by the crowd.
He
immediately told his band to stop the music and went over to confront
the culprits. “Have you ever seen a girl? She could be your mother or a
sister,” he told them.
He
then asked his band members to “rescue her” in English and they pulled
her up onto the stage. As they did so the crowd chanted “Atif, Atif!”
“"If
you behave yourself, you will get a proper show,” he warned the crowd
before continuing with the concert. “Otherwise it will wrap up early ...
be a human being.”
The singer received plaudits for his prompt actions on social media.
Pakistan is heavily influenced by Islamism
and interactions between men and women are limited by convention. Women
are treated as lesser than men because of this ideology, leading men to
have a sense of unwarranted entitlement when it comes to women’s
bodies.
