What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth sets out the controversy over Maulana Tariq Jamil's dua, in which he criticised media lies and spoke of modesty, reads critics who called it misogynistic, and plays the clip.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth gives the backdrop to the backlash against Maulana Tariq Jamil: at what he believes was a charity event to raise money, Tariq Jamil was asked to make dua at the end, and in an emotional dua he criticised the media for spreading falsehood and lies and spoke about modesty, which led many, especially women, to call him misogynistic. He reads reactions posted online: one, from a commentator whose name the transcript garbles, calls it absurd to suspect that the Covid pandemic results from women wearing short sleeves or from schools and universities misleading the youth, and calls it a misogynist mindset; another says the comments sum up the thinking of most clergy in Pakistan and of the Prime Minister himself; others defend him, saying he never blamed women for the pandemic and people have misunderstood. He then plays several minutes of the speech in Urdu, which the transcript does not render, so that viewers can make up their own minds.
