Deeply troubling and unacceptable for politicians like Nabeel Gabol to make light of rape. Such behavior is not only insensitive and offensive but also perpetuates harmful and dangerous attitudes towards sexual violence. @PPP_Org @BBhuttoZardari pic.twitter.com/01Z5GCfSWc — Nighat Dad (@nighatdad) April 2, 2023

In another interview he is making sexually suggestive comments & references towards other women politicians. It is crucial that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions & words & that there are consequences for engaging in such behavior. @BBhuttoZardari pic.twitter.com/eAgjZUZ7OQ — Nighat Dad (@nighatdad) April 2, 2023

Nabeel Gabol has been directed to explain within 3 days. The show-cause notice states that in case of non-explanation, organizational discipline action will be taken against Nabeel Gabol. Inappropriate speech and use of unparliamentary words is not PPP’s policy.

His (repulsive) rhetoric belongs to his individual only & is in noway a representation of our party. Incase it wasn’t already abundantly obvious- we absolutely & unequivocally stand for the rights & protection of women. Misogyny has no space in our religion nor our party. https://t.co/aFsDF8DjXA — Bakhtawar B-Zardari (@BakhtawarBZ) April 3, 2023
