LAHORE: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb urged Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to initiate legal action against those elements who were involved in character assassination of female actresses on social media networking sites. She strongly condemned campaign against female actresses. “Entire society must condemn those who are promoting culture of such malicious campaigns aimed at character assassination and spreading insolence and incivility.” She said artists were not only assets of country, but also its identity at international level as they earned status in society through their sheer hard work and got stardom after facing many challenges.

She regretted that character assassination of woman got started whenever she achieved sublime status either in journalism, politics, art or any other fields. Women became target of such smear campaigns just due to their gender. Instead of acknowledging women’s struggle, capabilities and hard work, she regretted, some elements were trying to discredit them.

“Mentally retarded people” only cared about honour of their own mothers and sisters, but not of others, she said.
