Imran Khan’s comments came after previous remarks on the issue of sex crimes implied he held victims responsible too.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday that any person who commits rape was “solely responsible” for the crime and “never the victim”, after he was criticised for blaming a rise in sexual assault cases on how women dress. “Anyone who commits rape, solely and solely, that person is responsible,” Khan told PBS anchor Judy Woodruff in a wide-ranging interview aired on Tuesday. “No matter whatever – how much ever a woman is provocative or whatever she wears, the person who commits rape, he is fully responsible. Never is the victim responsible.”More Related News
