Damn why pakistanis are following indian culture these days.

What? Is bicycle riding Indian culture? Or you meant something else?

No I mean harrassing and molesting girls on streets.

New gen of Pakistanis are selfish and beghairat.

I think groping is considered harassment in India too.

Though in Pakistan, definition of harassment is much more strict and mostly ambiguous. Sometimes even harmless talking and asking for marriage is also considered harassment.

Disgusting episode. Cycling is good for fitness....not that I'd ever do it. Shameful that nobody intervened to help the woman.

In Karachi, people are always ready to beat the shit out of the harasser (provided he does not possess lethal weapons)

so,the women should not have freedom to come on to the road?Why don't women in the west who do all kinds of cyclings,hikings even at nights in the remotest of countrysides face these things?This thinking that women should be confined to four walls is the reason our south asia has such a horrific record of abuse against women...they are human beings and they have as much right to enjoy all the freedoms that a man does..in this era of social media and internet the more you try to suppress them ,the more they will rebel..

In the west such incident happens as well, just follow to the news you will see similar crime happens there too. In fact the crime rate in the west is nothing to be brag about, in some places you can't even step out of your home at night due to rampant crime.

But I'm not saying this is right, but this is an isolated incident and every country have their problems but Pakistan have already commited to solving this problem with Imran Khan openly commited to solving these issues.

Agree .
That Mee too movement was almost all about that.

I am not against women working or going outside but doing a campaign to "bring women on roads" seems to be liberal's agenda. Go live in the west and ull know wat happens to girls there as well. We have our norms and values, wr allow women to work and go out but with our norms and values, we dont need liberals campaigning to tell us how to allow women out.

Please tell me what happens to girls here in the west when they bike or run alone which is worse than Pakistan?

Can't be all or most. Many people don't find the courage to speak at the time when its happening, specially in case of underage victims or when faced these things first time.

This can only be fixed with education and severe punishments.
