The social media activist and famous Pakistani lawyer Nighat Dad shared a 30 seconds clip from her official Twitter account and it took social media by storm. On a flight, a man was sitting next to Nighat and was busy scratching his private part which made her incredibly uncomfortable. Nighat wrote in her tweet that she is making a video as a proof for those who’ll claim later that he was just ‘adjusting’.
She wrote on her Twitter that,
“When men scratch their balls 15 times in 5 mins in public space how do you term this behavior? Please don’t call it “adjusting” This man made me extremely uncomfortable sitting next to me in a flight in only 10 mins before the flight even took off. I made videos because people need to see *PROOF* and complained to the Qatar Airways crew who took an immediate action and removed him from where he was seated. To my surprise when we landed few FIA officers were waiting for him to come out and take an action against him”
Here’s the disgusting video!

After Nighat Dad’s tweet, social media users started criticizing her for filming a laborer who might be returning from work to home!
Male Chauvinism?
Shame on you and your thinking. This is how the elite class of the country think about the poors of this country. Seems a poor labourer returning home . You should have taken him to dermatologist for the treatment of the fungus. You did this to gain cheap popularity .

Good Question!
Good work. But do we also condemn the woman who are showing cleavages and giving nasty looks in public or that looks sweet and fun?

So, Nighat Dad Is Not The One!
The same thing happened to me on a flight to dubai once. The man wouldn’t stop touching himself!
Disgusting.

Such A Sensible Thought!
Glad you appropriately captured on film such unacceptable behavior, which many women (and a few men) have witnessed one too many times. Sitting in a confined place makes it even more objectionable esp if it’s a repeated pattern & not adjusting for comfort. There is a difference.

According To Some Twitteratis, He Might Have Some Medical Issues!
Be positive. He might had some medical issues e.g. rashes
