Should have dodge these bait questions. Sexual violence is exponential in US compared to Pakistan, but you will never see head of state giving personal opinion while in office.The ruler's statement represents the whole society. When a leader lacks foresight and maturity in thinking, then the state and nation suffer from the consequences. Imran Khan's interview with the Western media is now igniting a debate.
Indeed, it has been unfortunate that the interview was cut short by the producer, but didn't Imran Khan know what might be the purpose of the Western media for his interview? Didn't Imran Khan know that the western media would cut the interview and present the parts which suit them? Was Pakistan's media not there if Imran wants to deliver any message to Pakistanis and the entire world?
The interview was done and released by the Western media, and they achieved what they wanted but Imran and the nation have achieved total contempt disrespect of our society. Imran is now trying to clarify what he wanted to say about women’s coverup dress, but the damage has already accomplished by his unnecessary interview? This interview has not only disgraced Imran Khan but also made Pakistan and its society shamed all over the world.
I wish our political leaders had some wisdom about Islam, Pakistan, and our culture. I wish may Allah give Pakistan a leader if not like Muhammad Ali Jinnah but at least the consciousness for his nation.

I found it baffling that the CIA chief arriving in Pakistan with strategic reasons and the Prime Minister didn't even know what it was about and didn't even meet him.
Only a stupid would be baffled!
PM not meeting the CIA chief doesn't mean that PM was not aware of what happened in the meeting. How the heck did you derive this conclusion though? PM only said he didn't meet him, that's it.
The interviewer asked: "What was he here for?"
The PM replied: "I don't know."
His exact words. He's a clueless person. No wonder the Army Chief is the one meeting businessmen.
When PM said 'Absolutely Not' to the bases question, then what's the point in answering anything more on that topic.
When PM said 'Absolutely Not' to the bases question, then what's the point in answering anything more on that topic. It's diplomacy. Give the answer to the most relevant question and pass on the irrelevant ones.
From now on, the PM office should record the interview with the foreign journalist and release that version on the TV.
Damage has been done.
Dawn and ET is busy making blogs,editorial, news in blaming IK for the last few days. They even didn't mention about the unedited version of the interview. Only Ary news reported this yesterday.
This clearly warrant cancelation of HBO lisence in Pakistan.
Does it change the fact that the Prime Minister doesn't even know why the CIA chief came to Pakistan, in his own words on the interview? He then said that someone from his administration did meet him, the ISI chief... but didn't he report back to the Prime Minister? How can Imran Khan not know for what business the CIA chief came to Pakistan.
How do you not find that troubling?
PTV has just released unedited portions of PM IK HBO Max interview which show an entirely different scenario about his comments about women in society.
Notably his comments about Hindutva were also deleted in aired version
PM office twitter handle has also posted the unedited version, i am posting the relevant portions here.
"We as a society need to discourage sex crimes." Prime Minister Imran Khan
"Negotiations with India cannot take place until unilateral steps are taken on Kashmir," he said. Prime Minister Imran Khan
P.S: MY request to Mods is to NOT merge this thread with other as this is an important issue requiring a separate topic of its own. It's not just about an individual but about misrepresentation of Pakistan on certain issues. Merging it with the interview thread will make this point of notice lost.
@graphican @Patriot forever @Genghis khan1 @AZADPAKISTAN2009 @313ghazi @Ahmet Pasha etc..
they are spreading propaganda to make IK controversial figure, he needs to be careful.
Can the HBO and the axios be sued for editing and using this interview as a propaganda piece?
This was a jab by the "deep pockets". This deserves a strong action from Pakistan, people and culture here value those who speak up and speak loud.
There are a few things we can do.
1: Lodge a formal complaint from Govt. Of Pakistan.
2: All media in Pakistan, needs to pick this up, and make this a big domestic issue
3: All Pakistani journalists visiting abroad for assignments, need to be updated about this issue, and see if they can interview media regulatory authorities in the US.
4: The embassy needs to start working, maybe get some sort of a small protest going outside the HBO HQ.
5: Anyone subscribed to them, should cancel their subscription. Spread the news, let all your friends know. They need to hurt fiscally.
6: Pakistani journalists going abroad need to build a narrative around this.
I am no expert in this field. But I feel the government needs to take this seriously and do something. Maybe we can brainstorm some ideas.
HBO and axios should be banned for this
This is unacceptable
This is how media twists for its own interest. From now on, the PM office should record the interview with the foreign journalist and release that version on the TV.
