A large number of people, mostly clerics and seminary students, held a demonstration on Sunday in Bannu to press the local administration to close down the city’s family park because women visiting recreational spaces was unacceptable to them. Celebrities Aamna Ilyas and Ayesha Omar have called these protesters our, saying these men are the “real threat to society”.

The protest leaders had said that women visiting recreational places was not acceptable to them, and asked the local administration to close down the park. They alleged that the establishment of the family park had promoted obscenity in the area. With a turn-up of hundreds of men outside the gate, the family park has now been closed.

Model Ilyas shared a post by Niche Lifestyle and wrote, “The levels these men will go. Now women visiting parks to breath fresh air or go for walks is considered obscene?? Instead of forbidding women to go to the park and advocate for closures these men need to be banned from these parks as they’re the real threat to society!”

TV host and actor Omar shared the same post and wrote, “Kill all joy. Close everything. Don’t breathe and don’t you dare go out in the sun. Why are we even alive?” she questioned.

We’re with Ilyas and Omar — let women go to the park in peace!
