Controversies and criticism

Javed Chaudhry has faced criticism on multiple accounts. In 2012, he was accused of victim blaming, on the basis of his April 1 column in the Urdu newspaper Daily Express. In 2018, in his satirical article, he claimed that Bushra Bibi married Imran Khan, after being directed by the Prophet in a dream. Bushra blatantly rejected this claim.[23] [24]

Javed was also criticized for doing nothing, during popular stand-off between Qadir Mandokhail and Firdous Ashiq Awan which led to Awan slapping Mandokhail, on his show.[25] In 2019, he published alleged interview of by-then NAB chairman Javed Iqbal in his column published in Daily Express,[26] which NAB called fake and untrue.[27]
