Jemima Goldsmith, the former wife of Prime Minister Imran Khan, lashed outat her ex-spouse over his statement where he blames the vulgarity forincreasing sexual violence, including rape.

Taking to Twitter, Jemima hoped that Imran Khan’s statement is a misquote/mistranslation, adding that the onus for the crime is on the men.

She cited a verse of holy Quran as: “Say to the believing men that theyrestrain their eyes and guard their private parts.” “The onus is on men,”she added.

Sharing an article by Daily Mail, she added: “I’m hoping this is amisquote/ mistranslation. The Imran I knew used to say, ‘Put a veil on theman’s eyes not on the woman’”.
