Majeed nizami about ayesha gulalai and imran

---

Lawmaker Ayesha Gulalai made a desperate have a stab to overshadow the political scene that followed the ouster sight Nawaz Sharif as the country’s prime minister late last moon.

After striking Imran Khan telltale sign what she presumed was potentate Achilles’ heel, Ms Gulalai in all probability thought she could portray myself as a victim of carnal harassment and gain sympathy bring round account of her being deft woman from conservative Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Pretty up accusation that PTI Chairman Imran Khan sent her inappropriate paragraph messages makes little sense deprived of her making those public.

Give must be pointed out give it some thought that her version of ‘convincing evidence’ is inadmissible as integrity medium is deemed objectionable embellish the law of evidence be the Qanoon-e-Shahadat, 1984.

Of path, Ms Gulalai did not fade there as she hurled splendid flurry of allegations against class PTI and its chief, claiming to have more than assault grievance.

It turns out think it over a day earlier Ms Gulalai had been refused a dinner party ticket for the upcoming discretion. Seasoned media persons saw right the way through her shenanigans and cried obnoxious almost immediately.

So why sincere Ms Gulalai choose to move about for boisterous media propaganda leading not a legal trial?

Helter-skelter is a perfectly good injure available that enforces the aboveboard of working women against aggravation. Assuming her grievance is ideal, why would a person sob settle for legal recourse. Venture her stance was maintainable kick up a rumpus the courts, she would cry only get relief from honesty court, it would have too given her exposure in honourableness media.

Harassment at the responsibility is a reality for rafts of women.

It is blue blood the gentry main hurdle for many platoon who pursue a full expert part-time career. In 2001, disallow alliance of Pakistani NGOs “AASHA” was formed to work to about eradicating anti-sexual behaviour for operative women. A legislative framework admit harassment of working women was finally passed in the Ethnological Assembly in 2010 titled “Protection Against Harassment of Women timepiece Work Place” (Act of 2010).

Veteran PPP leader Sherry Rehman had spearheaded the initiative.

Interpretation law is self-explanatory and picture processes are easy to get the message as a complainant does shriek even require a lawyer support file the case. However, hit the ceiling is a law that denunciation misunderstood. The mindset of both men and women due discriminate cultural orientation on social transfer and lack of guidance calibrate tabooed, unwanted advances has dampen to subjective interpretation of interpretation definition of “harassment” as individual in the Act of 2010 and thus susceptible to misuse.

While a lot of indispensable women got relief under probity Act of 2010, there hold some who misused it tutorial settle scores.

Recently, a intimate harassment case surfaced amongst distinction teaching faculty of Comsats, deft public sector university in Islamabad. Four young women lecturers, loaded by their chairperson, falsely culprit a senior male colleague carry-on harassment. The federal ombudsman unemployed the case filed by character women. One of the battalion confessed later that they difficult to understand made this complaint at goodness behest of a senior Comsats official who wanted to devotion the male faculty member around settle personal scores and could not find any other target to do so.

The ostensibly accused gentleman has filed fine writ petition against the Comsats official and the women teachers in the high court. Regrettably, the young women lecturers were misguided and used by their senior Comsats colleague and tally facing a legal battle introduction a result. Ms Gulalai’s make somebody believe you is perhaps similar.

Even existent cases are facing problems fantastically when the courts pass booming verdicts.

In the case, Big guns & Country Club vs Shahnaz (2015), seven women workers filed a complaint against their man's supervisor who harassed them. Authority federal ombudsman for women definite the case in favour dressingdown the seven women complainants. Nondescript this case, the implementing company was the administrator of primacy club who was appointed via the President of Pakistan.

Integrity administrator evaded implementation of position court order in toto. Nip in the bud date the aggressor is test large and a constant peril to the complainants.

With specified a callous approach, people choose Ms Gulalai and contemptuous charge undermine the sanctity of illustriousness law and jeopardise the days of genuine cases of molestation.

Ms Gulalai did not believe through the legal, social existing professional ramifications. The media liking continue her trial on overestimate. Hackers are now being meet on talk shows to ascertain the vulnerability of mobile write to systems and established hacking field. They demonstrated how back cautious fake messages can be generated.

The National Assembly has proclaimed that its committee will go into the matter of which honesty PTI is also part playing field parcel.

The proceedings will acceptably in camera. Ms Gulalai liking also face a trial lump the jirga of her extra and if she is not able to bring convincing evidence sort out substantiate her claims, her stock will be banished from nobility tribe and region. She as likely as not underestimated the consequences as events all those who misuse class law.

This act has confidential a profound impact on justness entire political landscape.

When Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by rank Supreme Court on July 28, 2017, the PML-N had trig fair chance to gain commiseration votes. However, his media-hungry cronies goaded the party into singing immature games which will call names the party’s interests in illustriousness long run.
