Popular Pakistani actress Iqra Aziz has lately spoken out against one of the ‘annoying’ practices by desi parents of hitting or slapping their children in Public and urged them to break this cycle. Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress raised her voice over the issue through sharing a video on Instagram in which a father can be seen slapping on son’s face for his loud conduct.
In the video, which was captured randomly by a social media handle, a boy was seen skating in the area of DHA; however, in the background, a man was spotted hitting his child in front of people for some of his action.
Sharing the video on her Instagram story, Iqra Aziz shared a detailed note over the objectionable action by parents, emphasizing the need to understand children as they are new to the world. She said that no action of a child is big enough for parents to slap him in Public.
Here exact words read: “I want to take a moment and address the father slapping his children in the end, no action is big enough for you to slap or hit your children in pubic, family or even in a room. As a desi parent I understand how difficult it is to control yourself because we all been in this cycle. Get hit as a child because we were too naughty, too loud or don’t want to listen to anymore and felt like doing what we wanted to. To becoming one of our parents. Please understand your child is new to this world at every stage of his/ her life, he is younger than you, vulnerable and experiencing things differently. Someone has to break the cycle.”
Social media users also approved her wise words and shared opinions in the comment section.
One user added, “Islam does not allow to slap across face. the child should have been disciplined at home.” Another stated, “Violence has become a part of our DNA. This is not acceptable.” A netizen wrote: “Later these people say that the kid is not taking care of us in old age.”
