Nabil Gabol, a politician from Pakistan, is receiving harsh criticism for the disgusting and misogynistic remarks that he made on several podcasts. On social media, his harsh comments have sparked anger.
In one of the interviews, Nabil Gabol was discussing sexual abuse and made the appalling statement, “There is a saying in English: if rape is imminent, just enjoy it.” Despite the host’s objections, he persisted with this vile claim, stating that enduring rape is a form of acceptance and that one should “just enjoy it” if they are so helpless. He further added that if someone is being forced, they should stand up for themselves and not endure it.
In another video, Gabol was captured stating that while people in Karachi tend to suppress their emotions and express them only in private, individuals like him can easily acquire anyone they desire. This remark suggests a disturbingly entitled attitude toward sexual relationships.
As a consequence, Gabol and PPP are facing severe criticism from numerous Twitter users. Notably, Fatima Bhutto expressed her disgust on Twitter, stating, “This is despicable. Nabil Gabol has laid bare the criminal mindset of Sindh’s government. He has failed to deliver anything for Lyari or the people he supposedly represents and finds it amusing to discuss such violent acts. Absolutely horrendous.”
Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari also expressed her views on the matter on the microblogging site, clarifying that Gabol’s offensive statements are his own and do not represent the party’s stance. She made it clear that the party stands unwaveringly for women’s rights and protection, and misogyny has no place in their religion or organization.
Several other Twitter users have also joined in the condemnation of Gabol’s remarks. One user called out PPP for taking action against ordinary Twitter users but giving political tickets to individuals like Gabol, who they refer to as a “scumbag.” This comment highlights the urgent need for a significant overhaul in the party’s policies and leadership.
Nabil Gabol is a Pakistani politician who was a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan from 2002 to 2015 and a member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996.
