Pakistan actor Ayesha Omar is thinking of leaving Pakistan given the current economic situation and the safety of women in the country.

"I don't feel safe here. I want to walk on the road, as it is every human's need to go out for fresh air. I want to cycle but why can't I do it?" she said while speaking during a podcast.

Omar said the only time women could walk outside was during the COVID-19 lockdown. "I feel stressed and anxious in Karachi and I just don't feel safe, and I don't think many women do," she said.

"Men can never understand what Pakistani women grow up with no matter how hard you try. The fear a woman faces in this country cannot be understood [by a man]. You feel anxious every second."

She said that when she was in college in Lahore, she felt much safer there than in Karachi, adding that she used to travel in buses. When asked if she had any incidents in Karachi, she said that she had been mugged twice.

She lamented that she cannot walk in Pakistan freely without fear of being kidnapped, r***d or mugged. "Freedom and safety are a basic human need which is not here," she stressed.

"You are not even safe in your home. Crime happens in every country but you can still go out and walk freely. I can't even go to a park [in Pakistan] without being harassed," she added.

However, Omar said that she loves Pakistan as the country has given her everything. "I love the land and if I have the choice to choose from anywhere in the world to live, I would choose Pakistan," she said.

The actor said that her brother has moved abroad from Pakistan and lives in Denmark and her mother also plans to leave the country.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday responded to PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan’s allegation that Feb 8 elections could be delayed, branding his remarks a “failed attempt to mislead the people”.

In a press conference held earlier in the day, Gohar had doubted that the general elections would be held on its currently scheduled date.

He claimed the ECP had already moved the elections forward, questioning why it did not release the election schedule, which it was supposed to do today.

The PTI chairman criticised the commission for not providing a level playing field to his party, and cited senior party leader Sher Afzal Marwat’s “abduction” today as the latest example of the ECP’s bias.

“Free and fair elections will not be possible due to this entire process,” Barrister Gohar stated. “We have always had one stance, which is for the election commission to conduct fair and free elections.”

He added that the appointment of civil servants as returning officers (ROs) and district returning officers (DROs) instead of judicial officers could never ensure fair and free elections.

ECP Spokesperson Haroon Shinwari, in a statement, refuted Gohar’s allegations, reiterating that all the arrangements for holding the elections on February 8 were already in place.

He said that the DROs and ROs had already been appointed and undergoing training in various parts of the country — which he said was necessary before the announcement of election schedule.

The spokesperson further said that once the election schedule is announced, only then the nomination papers could be filed by the candidates and the ECP could perform its duties.

He said that the election commission could not be “held responsible for the current situation in any way”.
