Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 11th March, 2019) Punjab Information Minister Samsam Bukhari has also reacted to the placards and slogans raised at Aurat march held in the country to observe International Women’s Day.
Speaking about the mixed response that Aurat march has been receiving, the provincial information minister said that every person has his own opinion regarding the Aurat march.
However, he said, some of the placards did not reflect our society.
Every person has the right to their individual freedom, the minister added.
The Aurat March was aimed at raising awareness about women issues and to shun patriarchy in the country.
Women held placards and posters carrying various ‘feminist’ slogans. These included slogans about consent, domestic abuse and discriminatory attitude towards women.
As the pictures of these posters went viral on social media, it got a mixed reaction.
Some people supported the slogans raised at Aurat march while others were critical of these feminist voices who think that this was not even a true portrayal of feminism.
