Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib faces backlash over misogynist Facebook post about Women’s rights

Tanzim Hasan Sakib, the rising star of Bangladesh’s cricket, made a remarkable debut during the Asia Cup 2023 against India, earning accolades for his impressive performance. His ability to secure crucial wickets, including those of renowned players Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma, showcased his immense talent and potential on the international stage.

However, Sakib’s recent fame has taken a troubling turn as his past Facebook posts, filled with derogatory remarks towards women, have resurfaced, sparking widespread outrage on social media. In one particularly controversial post, Sakib wrote, “If the wife works, the husband’s rights are not ensured. If the wife works, the child’s rights are not ensured. If the wife works, her elegance is damaged. If the wife works, the family is ruined. If the wife works, the veil is ruined. If the wife works, society is ruined.”
