Are you in a relationship with transgender Gul Chahat? Journalist asks PTI’s Shafi Jan

Shafi Jan Gul Chahat

A video on social media is surfacing in which the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, Shafi Jan, is speaking to the media. During the conversation, a journalist asked Shafi Jan if he is in a relationship with a transgender woman, Gul Chahat.

The journalist also said that an MPA from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) confirmed your relationship with transgender Gul Chahat. After the question, the PTI worker started protesting and said, “ye sawal ghalat hai, iska jawab nai daina chahye.”  

The PTI senior leader and MPA, Shafi Jan, didn’t answer the question and walked away.

In the recent past, Shafi Jan was the one who used foul language and gave problematic statements against PMLN’s female MPA and provincial minister, Azma Bukhari.

However, after getting a strong response from the media and civil society, Shafi Jan apologised for his insensitive statement against a female politician.
