Pakistani former model Iffat Omar has made it to the headlines with her recent interview with Sang-e-Mar Mar star Nauman Ijaz pointing out that Salauddin Ayyubi is not our hero.
She touched upon many important topics during the interview. She did not hold back, whether it was criticizing Imran Khan’s government, hitting back on haters, or calling out controversial collaborations between Pakistan and Turkey.
The host questioned Iffat about what she thinks of the government backing Islamic history by airing popular Turkish shows on national Tv. From Omar’s face, we could tell the host touched upon an unpleasant topic. Omar folded her hands and responded, “They [Turks] invaded us. Understand this. We do not need fictional characters, we need stories about scientists. There’s not a single mathematician, a scientist in Pakistan that is known the world over.”
Of course, the upcoming Pak-Turk Salauddin Ayyubi collaboration question followed her controversial answer. To this, Iffat responded, “He [Salauddin Ayyubi] is not our hero. This has been indoctrinated in Pakistanis since our country has been formed. We think of ourselves as superiors. Our history is of sub-continent, we need to endorse that. Our history isn’t of Turkey.”
