<p>Khan had recently denounced crimes against women and children but triggered controversy by linking rape and sexual violence to how women dress.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This entire concept of purdah (covering up or segregating) is to avoid temptation, not everyone has the willpower to avoid it," Khan had said.<o:p></o:p></p>
