Singer and social activist Jawad Ahmad has come under intense criticism for making controversial remarks about women’s attire.

The incident has reignited an ongoing debate about gender sensitivity, personal choice and public responsibility of celebrities in Pakistan.
According to details, Jawad Ahmad recently made headlines during a podcast when he got into a heated exchange with a female listener. The woman reportedly criticized Jawad Ahmad, to which he reacted strongly, saying that one should reflect on their own behavior before criticizing others.
The exchange quickly turned tense, drawing the attention of viewers online.
Jawad Ahmad stated that it is because of the struggle of people like him that women today have the freedom to live their lives according to their own choices.
However, critics argue that such statements contradict the tone of his remarks during the discussion.
During the discussion, he gave an example, saying that Imran Khan’s wife wears a burqa and sisters cover their heads, adding, “If Mahira wears a burqa, how will she dance?”
Many viewers found the comparison inappropriate and unnecessary.
As soon as the video went viral, it sparked severe backlash on social media. Users criticized Jawad Ahmad, saying that he lacks basic manners when speaking to people.
Several users also questioned how such remarks align with his image as a social activist as he is calling for greater accountability from public figures.
