A controversial song by YouTuber of Pakistan Hafiz Hasan Iqbal Chishti, condemning girls’ education and sparking social media outrage, has gone viral. In the video uploaded a few weeks ago, Chishti urges parents to withdraw their daughters from school, citing alleged dancing at schools, which he deems unacceptable in Islam. The song is titled ‘Apni Dhi Schoolo Hata Le Othy Dance Kardi Payi Ae (Remove your daughter from school she was spotted dancing there)’.
The contentious song features lyrics that degrade women, advocating for keeping daughters out of school to avoid them becoming prostitutes. The singer asserts in the video that educated daughters lose their dignity and respect.
The video also references its creation context, showcasing footage from a dance competition held at a school in Pakistan, organized at UNESCO’s request. In June, the YouTuber released the song in response to these events.
Since its release, the video has garnered nearly 300,000 views and over 3,000 likes. In the comments section, viewers criticized the lyrics and expressed concerns about Pakistan’s direction.
