Major (retired) Adil Raja, a former spokesperson for the Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society based in London, sparked outrage when he claimed that some actresses were used as “honey traps” by the country’s powerful establishment.
Previously, he claimed in a series of tweets that Pakistan’s powerful circles use actresses to trap politicians and people in key positions.
‘There are numerous names of models, actresses, and celebrities in Pakistan and abroad, with the initials that I have mentioned. I do not endorse and condemn any of the names of the celebrities being mentioned by anyone on any forum/social media in this regard. Having said that I’m appalled at the social media trends and mindset of our society, which is fixated on the women being abused instead of the abusers and the cause of abuse.” Major Adil earlier tweeted.
“I’m disappointed and feel ashamed at the debate on social media regarding the defamation of certain actresses. Let’s talk about the real issues here, which are: @OfficialDGISPR to please clarify: 1. Is there an inquiry regarding Gen Faiz Hameed going on upon the orders of the COAS? 2. Were all the alleged videos/audios recorded? 3. Did the financial corruption being alleged really occur?” he added.
Punjab government spokesperson took to Twitter to condemn Adil Raja for his campaign against women.
Subsequently, actress Kubra Khan has vowed to take legal action against ex-officer Major (retd) Adil Raja for leveling false allegations against her.
In a statement issued on Monday, she said she would take legal action against Raja in the United Kingdom if he failed to retract his allegations and apologized to her.
