In his speech, Nawaz had compared PML-N's female supporters to another party's, suggesting that his supporters were more "respectful." Politicians and journalists, including former PTI MNA Maleeka Bokhari, condemned his remarks.
Maleeka Bokhari in a press conference in Islamabad, said: "I condemn the events that transpired on May 9. For every Pakistani, the events that took place on May 9 are very painful."
