These are sick and depraved minds that target women in this fashion, Mazari said.

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari on Friday expressed support to the Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat who was criticized for receiving Tamgha-i-Imtiaz on Pakistan Day this year.

The minister took to social networking website Twitter and posted, “Just became aware of & am disgusted by the attacks on Mehwish Hayat s character by those clearly frustrated & envious that she received Tamgha-i-Imtiaz - a recognition for her outstanding performances as an actor.”

These are sick and depraved minds that target women in this fashion, she further said.

Earlier after receiving the award, Mehwish gave a message of hope to all the girls who dare to dream, encouraging them to keep trying and striving with a conviction that one day those very dreams will wear the feathers of reality and help them soar high up in the sky.
