PDM leader Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman garners criticism on social media for passing derogatory and misogynistic comments on the supporters of PTI
As Imran Khan-led PTI and PML-Q are bracing up to take over the rule of Punjab, Maulana Fazl addressed a press conference on Thursday evening. Agitated and furious, Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman threatened Imran Khan and his followers with consequences.
Fazl in his press conference warned Imran Khan to stay within his limits and not transgress the boundaries. He urged Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to take strict action against Imran Khan to curtail his power. Fazl said he believes Shehbaz Sharif is being unnecessarily easy on him. “I have asked the government to put Imran Khan in jail… get Rana Sanaullah into action,” he said
While commenting on the support base of Imran Khan he threatened to target them. Fazl called the female support base of PTI, ‘Nanhi Titliyan’ (little butterflies) and passed a misogynistic slang for male supporters of PTI.
The PDM chief said that he will make the earth so hot for Imran Khan that his supporters will not be able to step on it and little butterflies will not be able to in the hot air.

ابھی فضل الرحمان کا کلپ دیکھا۔ "یو**یا"، "تتلیاں"۔ یہ پہلی مرتبہ نہیں کے فضل نے نوجوانوں اور خواتین کے بارے میں نازیبا گفتگو کی ہو۔ "دھرنے دن میں ہوتے ہیں، رات کو مجرے ہوتے ہیں" کہہ چکا۔ ایکٹیوسٹ فار ہائر، فریڈم آف اسپیچ چیمپس اور فیمننسٹس یہ سن کر دوپٹے اوڑھے نیپال چلے جاتے ہیں۔

یہ انبیاء کے وارث ہیں ۔۔ یہ دین بیچنے والے۔ یہ مثلِ یہود۔ یہ اسلام کو بدنام کرنے والے، یہ مدرسوں میں بچوں ساتھ بدفعلی کرنیوالے، یہ سُنتِ رسولﷺ داڑھی کی بدنامی کا باعث بننے والے، یہ مجا ہد ین کا خون بیچنے والے، یہ یہودی ایجنٹوں کے تلوے چاٹنے والے، یہ امریکیوں کے آگے لیٹنے والے۔ https://t.co/OcXr5DAovZ

He even targeted the state institutions in his press conference. Fazl said religious scholars belonging to JUI-F are becoming the victim of target killing. We should be told who are the killers otherwise the state institutions must accept responsibility,” he added.

He said that state institutions have occupied many seminaries. “They call madrassas centers of terrorism but they also seek cooperation from religious scholars of these madrassas,” he added.
His misogynistic slur was criticized by netizens on Twitter. They asked why no widespread condemnation came in from women’s rights activists against Fazl-ur-Rehman.
