Hina Pervez Butt slams Rajab Butt over child abuse row

Punjab Assembly member and Punjab Women Protection Authority Chairperson Hina Pervez Butt has strongly criticised YouTuber Rajab Butt over his controversial remarks about child sexual abuse.

Hina condemned the YouTuber’s comments and questioned the mindset of people who continue to support him despite his remarks on such a sensitive issue.

In a post on X, Hina expressed anger over Rajab Butt’s recent controversial statement. She said that making jokes about child sexual abuse was not something that should be treated as entertainment or a matter of humour.

She also criticised Rajab’s response to people who objected to his remarks. According to Hina, the YouTuber adopted an inappropriate attitude towards those who raised concerns about the issue.

Hina further questioned the people who follow and support what she described as Rajab’s way of thinking. She said that, in her view, people who followed such thinking also raised serious concerns.

The controversy began after an old TikTok live video featuring Rajab Butt and fellow content creator Zaid Ali resurfaced on social media. The video included remarks concerning child sexual abuse, which sparked widespread criticism after it began circulating again.

Several social media users condemned the content and said that issues involving child abuse should not be used for entertainment or jokes. The controversy also drew criticism from public figures, including actresses Sehar Khan and Mishi Khan.

The actresses and other personalities stressed that child sexual abuse is a serious and painful issue. They argued that such matters should be discussed responsibly rather than being turned into a source of amusement.

Following the backlash, Rajab Butt responded to his critics and compared his number of followers with the viewership of television dramas. His response further intensified the discussion surrounding his earlier remarks.

The controversy continued to attract attention on social media as users criticised both the original comments and his response to the backlash.
