Former MNA and jailed PML-N leader, Hanif Abbasi created quite a stir when a picture of him and Nawaz Sharif sitting in the jailer’s office at Adiala Jail was leaked to the media.

It was later clarified that Nawaz Sharif met with Abbasi following IHC’s suspension of the Avenfield Verdict and not while serving the sentence.

Nevertheless, the clarification was not enough to ebb the irk of protesting Pakistanis.

Abbasi was shifted from Adiala to Attock jail following the fiasco.

Among the top newsmakers of the week was model Sadaf Kanwal. She rightly found herself in the eye of the storm when she made rather callous comments about the Me Too movement.

While commenting on the movement on Tonigh with HSY, the model said, “You know aap key sath Me Too jab ho, tab bol dou. Baad mein aap ko yaad aa raha hai Me Too. So I think jab ho bol dou.” (You know, when you have a Me Too incident, say it then and there. Why recall it later? I think when it happens you should say it.)”

Needless to say, Sadaf’s careless remarks left many women positively enraged including Meesha Shafi, who is literally the flag-bearer of the #MeToo movement in Pakistan.
