At that point there in an open spot, which additionally to some degree gives an impression of a college grounds, an irregular person comes and, with a creepy obscenity, pulls out the scarf from her neck. Also, accordingly, the young lady gladly grins and says    ہم لڑکیوں کو یہی تو چاہیے  In the midst of all the assault cases we have been of late catching wind of, and now of harrasment at instructive organizations, isn't this untrustworthy; this sort of generalization of little youngsters.  I, for one, am never a fanatic of music recordings, TV advertisements and so on pointlessly normalising 'looking at' young ladies.  Since no! all things considered, this isn't enjoyable.
