Anchor Imran Riaz Khan received some serious backlash from social media users following a clip from his You tube video discussing the Noor Mukadam case that went viral on Tuesday.
I’m shocked at Imran Khan’s ‘views’ on why #ZahirJaffer murdered #NoorMuqaddam. This vile man has not right to call himself a journalist and honestly, he should not even be allowed to have a platform on national TV anymore because he believes talking to men can get you beheaded. pic.twitter.com/DKjWTy9w13

According to the clip, Imran RIaz Khan can be seen blaming the victim of this tragic incident. In the video he was seen drawing comparisons between her contacting her father and the number of times she contacted the accused Zahir Jaffer. The journalist exclaimed that Noor Mukadam contacted Zahir Jaffer more times than her father in the past month.
He said that the father of Noor Mukadam texted her eight times in the past six months; she responded only thrice to the text messages of her father. Whereas she was in constant contact with her murderer Zahir Jaffer.
This is another level of irresponsible journalism. https://t.co/F9TfFkTqip

This clip was followed by a wave of raging social media users saying that Mr Imran should not be given a platform to speak if he holds such thoughts and continues to blame victims.
