A recent public statement by Pakistani singer Falak Shabir regarding a proposed dress code in public places has sparked debate on social media, leading to a strong response from Punjab Assembly member and Chairperson of the Punjab Women Protection Authority, Hina Parvez Butt.
Falak Shabir had shared a story on his social media account appreciating the Punjab government’s decision to ban vaping in the province. In the same post, he also requested Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to consider introducing a dress code for public spaces such as markets, streets, and public gatherings. He expressed concern that inappropriate clothing, in his view, could negatively impact cultural values.

His comments quickly attracted attention online, with many users reacting differently to the suggestion. Some supported his opinion, while others strongly disagreed, saying that personal clothing choices should not be controlled in public spaces.
In response, Hina Parvez Butt criticized the statement, saying that such thinking reflects an outdated mindset. In her post on X (formerly Twitter), she said that people like Falak Shabir should focus on more important issues instead of commenting on women’s clothing.
She added that in many countries, including Istanbul, no such debate exists over women’s dress, and Pakistan should also move forward instead of engaging in unnecessary cultural restrictions. She emphasized that such attitudes slow down social progress and development.
Hina Parvez Butt further advised people to mind their own responsibilities and avoid making public statements on sensitive social issues without understanding their impact.
The discussion has now become a trending topic on social media, with users sharing mixed opinions on cultural values, personal freedom, and public behavior. The debate continues as both supporters and critics express their views online, reflecting a broader conversation about social norms in Pakistan.
