Pakistan's prime minister under fire for linking rise in rape cases to how women dress

Pakistan rights campaigners have accused Prime Minister Imran Khan of "baffling ignorance" after the former cricketer linked how women dress for a rise in rape cases. In a weekend interview on live television, Oxford-educated Khan said an increase in rapes indicated the "consequences in any society where vulgarity is on the rise."

"The incidents of rape of women... (have) actually very rapidly increased in society," he said. He advised women to cover up to prevent temptation.
