Prime Minister Khan expressed his thoughts on sexual crimes in a latest interview with a foreign media outlet.
Answering a question, the premier said his previous statement about sexual crimes was taken out of context deliberately in an interview.
He said "The person who commits rape is fully responsible for the crime; the victim is never responsible."
Thousands of people praised the prime minister after some clips of his latest interview surfaced online.
Superstar Mahira Khan was among thousands of Twitter users who thanked the prime minister.
Sharing Khan's clip on Twitter, Mahira wrote, "LOUDER" with a folded hand emoji.
