So Sheikh Rasheed said that everyone in Pakistan's film industry is worse than pimps
Awami Muslim League leader Sheikh Rasheed has drawn the ire of Pakistani actors for passing disparaging comments about the Pakistani film industry in a recent television interview.
During his appearance on Sachi Baat With SK Niazi on Roze TV on June 17, Rasheed was asked to comment on Reham Khan's controversial upcoming book, to which he responded by saying that he thought Reham Khan was more dishonourable than 1000 prostitutes and that members of the Pakistani film industry are less principled than pimps.
Actors like Armeena Khan and Mansha Pasha have called out Rasheed for his abusive remarks and lamented the lack of ethics among Pakistani leaders today:
Who is this man? Why is he using such abuisve language against the #filmindustry? and more important why is such obscene language allowed on mainstream television? 🙈🙈 pic.twitter.com/87mtZmO0vB

This is how some politicians speak on national television. I second @ArmeenaRK what an embarassment such people are who call themselves "leaders" https://t.co/eDb9yq7VPe

We hope that Sheikh Rasheed and other politicians get the memo. It's high-time that politicians are held to better standards of public behaviour.
