Singer Falak Shabir appeals to CM Maryam for law against short dresses in public places

Netizens react to singer's comments, say, 'Which bazaar is the singer shopping in?'

Pop singer Falak Shabir is losing sleep over a terrifying new threat lurking in the streets of Punjab. No, it’s not inflation, smog, or the price of electricity. It’s short dresses.

Taking to his Instagram stories, the Rog singer decided to tag Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz with an urgent, deeply humbled plea.

"As a father of two daughters, I humbly request Madam CM Maryam Nawaz please make a law against those who wear short dresses in public places, bazaars and streets, otherwise we will all be destroyed culturally," Falak typed out, presumably while looking over his shoulder for rogue knees.

Naturally, the internet collectively stopped what it was doing, rubbed its eyes, and asked, " Which bazaar is the singer shopping in?"

For anyone who has ever stepped foot into Anarkali, Liberty, or Ichhra Bazaar, the standard uniform seen is lawn kurtas, dupatta-shielded shoulders, and the women facing occasional struggles to not trip over their own oversized palazzo pants. Leaving the question still present: Where are these mysterious, mini-dress-clad citizens roaming around?

Social media was immediately on the case, trying to locate this mythical, high-fashion alternate universe Falak seems to be living in. Users took to social media, pointing out his misogynistic personality and asking about the link between clothes and culture getting destroyed.

Some question him about his change in stance.

Dear Falak i have attended your concerts multiple times in which you used to say
“Jin larkio ka dil toota hai wo stage k pass a jain”. You never said a thing about their clothing bcz u were being paid.

Users also called his move a cry for wanting attention, questioning his stance and silence over women's harassment cases that occur daily.

Falak Shabir should also be banned from singing, wearing western pant shirts, and posting his naked shirtless pictures on instagram because its also destroying our culture. @FalakShabir1 https://t.co/7bbkFDmVEx

While a small segment of social media is cheering Falak on for "protecting our culture," the consensus remains one of mild, heat-induced amusement.

Until Falak drops the exact coordinates of these scandalous bazaars, the rest of us will continue dodging bikes, fighting over the price of tomatoes, and sweating through our very long, very culturally safe shalwar kameez.
