Pakistani singer Falak Shabir has come under criticism on social media after calling for restrictions on wearing short clothing in public places, sparking debate over personal freedom and cultural values.
The controversy began after Falak Shabir praised the Punjab government’s recent action against vape pods and urged Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to also consider introducing guidelines related to public dress codes. His comments quickly attracted widespread attention online.
In a social media post, the singer said that as a father of two daughters, he believes authorities should consider a code of conduct regarding clothing in public spaces such as markets and streets. He argued that restrictions on revealing clothing in public areas could help preserve social and cultural values.
Falak Shabir’s wife, actress Sarah Khan, also shared the message on social media.
Social media reaction
The statement triggered mixed reactions from social media users. Critics argued that clothing choices are a matter of personal freedom and should not be regulated by the government.
Some users also pointed out that Falak Shabir spends time in the United Kingdom with his family and questioned his stance on public dress codes. Others described the proposal as unnecessary moral policing, while some suggested it was an attempt to attract public attention.
The discussion continues online, with supporters and critics debating the balance between cultural values and individual freedoms in public life.
