Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has sparked fury by blaming 'temptation' for sexual violence against women.
It comes just two months after comments he made on sexual violence drew severe backlash.
In April, Khan caused fury when he suggested during a Q&A session that 'vulgarity' was to blame for rising sexual violence, singling out Bollywood, Hollywood, divorce, and the 'sex, drugs and rock and roll' culture of England in the 70s as examples of moral decline.
Defending his earlier remarks, Mr Khan siad in an interview with Axios HBO that aired on Monday: '...I said the concept of ''purdah''. The concept of "purdah" is avoid temptation in society. We don't have discos here, we don't have nightclubs.

'It is a completely different society way of life here. So if you raise temptation in society to the point - all these young guys have nowhere to go - it has a consequences in the society.'
When asked by Australian journalist Jonathan Swan if women's clothing can provoke sexual violence, Mr Khan said: 'If a woman is wearing very few clothes, it will have an impact on the men, unless they are robots.
'And it's common sense.'
Swan replied: 'Yes but is it really going to provoke acts of sexual violence?'
Mr Khan replied: 'It depends what society you live in. If in a society people haven't seen that sort of thing, it will have an impact on them.
'If you grow up in a society like you, maybe it won't on you.'
Referring to Western culture, he said: 'This is cultural imperialism.
'Whatever is acceptable in our culture, must be acceptable everywhere else. It's not.'
His comments were criticized by Pakistan Muslim League (PML) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb, who wrote on Twitter: 'The world got an insight into a mindset of a sick, misogynistic, degenerate & derelict IK.
'It is not women''s choices that lead to sexual assault rather the choices of men who choose to engage in this dispicable and vile crime.'
Earlier this year, Imran Khan praised the Islamic concept of purdah - or modesty - as an antidote to perceived moral decline, saying it is important to 'keep temptation in check'.
Twice-divorced Khan, one of the best cricketers of all time, was no stranger to scantily-clad women as he partied in VIP nightclubs during his bachelor life in London in the 1980s and 90s.
The Oxford-educated public schoolboy famously dated fashion guru Susannah Constantine before marrying glamorous socialite Jemima Goldsmith in 1995.
