ISLAMABAD - As allegations of sexual harassment pile up against Pakistani singer Ali Zafar, fellow singer Momina Mustehsan urged him to "apologise unconditionally" if he is guilty. On Friday, singer Meesha Shafi alleged Ali Zafar sexually harassed her and named him as a repeat offender, claims that Zafar "categorically denied" in a strongly worded statement. Following Meesha Shafi's statement, several other women shared their accounts concerning the singer, alleging sexual misconduct on his part.
Mustehsan also opened up about her brush with sexual harassment in a lengthy note, in which she did not appear to accuse anybody in particular, and wrapped it with a question addressed to Zafar.
"I would want to ask Ali Zafar and all other men one question: Do you think you have ever, knowingly or unknowingly, violated a woman in any way or form? If you have (no one is an angel) I request you to acknowledge your fault, apologize unconditionally, learn from the mistakes, and become a better human being," Mustehsan wrote in her note. - Agencies
