Controversies and criticism[edit]

Javed Chaudhry has faced criticism on multiple accounts. In 2012, he was accused of victim blaming, on 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][25] Javed was also criticized for doing nothing, during popular stand-off between Qadir Mandokhail and Firdous Ashiq Awan which led to Awan slapping Mandokhail, in his show.[26][27] In 2019, he published alleged interview of by-then NAB chairman Javed Iqbal in his column published on Daily Express,[28] which NAB called fake and untrue.[29]
