一 | Islamabad, Oct 19 (UNI) Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has made an inappropriate statement against a Pakistani woman journalist, implying that she was asking to be trolled and harassed as she "invades male-dominated spaces" while covering political rallies.
The PTI Chairman's statement came on Tuesday during a conversation with delegations of the National Press Club and the Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ), when a question was asked about women journalists being harassed at his party's 'jalsas', GeoTV news reported.
In response, Khan said that he would issue special instructions for his supporters in this regard, but he targeted journalist Gharida Farooqui and said: "If she would invade male-dominated spaces, then she is bound to be harassed," implying that the journalist is "asking for it."
When Khan was asked why he accused journalists of being paid (lifafa journalists), he said that so far, he has only used the term for senior journalist Saleem Safi, who has been a known critic of the PTI.
Regarding social media trolls, Khan said that he could not stop them as they were not under anyone's control. He also said that he has only filed a case against Najam Sethi and no other journalist, adding that the case against Sethi was still in process.

二 | New Delhi, Oct 11 (UNI) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has urged authorities to prevent and minimise the impact of ocular trauma and to ensure appropriate standardized treatment and rehabilitation of its victims.
Ocular trauma causes about five per cent of irreversible or permanent blindness.
The Commission has observed that major contributors of eye injury are road accidents (34 per cent), sports (29 per cent) and occupations (21 per cent). However, the most reassuring fact is that eye injury is a preventable cause of blindness, a NHRC statement stated.
The Commission, among several important recommendations, has called for identification of industries having high potential of ocular trauma and other industrial accidents and make it mandatory for owners of all such industries employing minimum 50 workers to purchase personal accident cover of minimum Rs 15 lakh for each worker.
Establishment of a special fund has also been recommended to provide financial assistance to victims of ocular trauma, it stated.
Its advisory has focused on five keys areas for action by the Centre, States and UT Administrations. These include creation of a database on ocular trauma, prevention and minimization of ocular trauma, treatment of ocular trauma, development of integrated ophthalmic trauma units and rehabilitation of victims.
