Iqrar ul Hassan, a well-known Pakistani TV anchor famous for his investigative journalism and outspoken views, has recently responded to a controversial statement made by Dr. Zakir Naik. During his visit to Pakistan, Dr. Zakir Naik made a comment saying that if a man can watch a female news anchor for 20 minutes and feel nothing, something is wrong with him.
Many people, including Iqrar Ul Hassan, found this comment offensive. Iqrar Ul Hassan shared his opinion in a YouTube video, saying that Dr. Zakir Naik’s statement was inappropriate. He argued that it is wrong to suggest that men should feel attracted to a female news anchor just because of her gender.
While some people supported Iqrar’s views, others pointed out his personal life. Iqrar Ul Hassan is married to three women who are all news anchors—Qurutulain, Farah, and Aroosa. Many online users found it ironic that he criticized Dr. Zakir Naik while being married to women he met in the media industry.
This sparked a mixed reaction online. Some people agreed with Iqrar’s criticism of Dr. Zakir Naik, while others questioned his views because of his situation. Both Iqrar Ul Hassan and Dr. Zakir Naik have faced strong reactions on social media, and the debate continues with different opinions on the issue.
