Celebrities speak out against Pakistani politician Nabil Gabol and his disturbing comments pertaining to rape, while trying to explain a political discourse during a podcast interview.

The politician made some very uninformed and insensitive remarks about the highly sensitive topic sparking an outrage as twitter called out the PPP leader for his offensive comment during a podcast and schooled him on his misogyny.

Many celebrities including Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, author Fatima Bhutto and artist Zulfikar Ali Bhutto voiced their disgust, calling the rhetoric “repulsive” and “sick”.

Actress and model Rabia Butt also questioned if the politician would be held accountable for his words.

Human rights activist and lawyer Nighat Dad also called out the ‘dangerous attitudes towards sexual violence.’

Bakhtawar Bhutto wrote, “His (repulsive) rhetoric belongs to his individual only and is in no way a representation of our party. In case it wasn’t already abundantly obvious — we absolutely and unequivocally stand for the rights and protection of women.”
