First, he appeared to side with religious bigots opposed to a mixed-gender "mini-marathon" in Lahore and failed to condemn the police harassment of the race's supporters, including leading human-rights lawyer Asma Jahangir. Then he backed a travel ban on gang-rape victim Mukhtar Mai, preventing her from rallying support abroad for her cause.
