Jan has been repeatedly criticized for being an extremist. Jan received attention in 2016 when he referred to a commercial of Q Mobile in which a woman wants to become cricketer as 'vulgar and provocative'. He has also said that women should not take part in political processions "because Pakistani politics are not Islamic politics and women cannot remain safe there and hence are responsible for whatever harassment they have to face in these very un-Islamic processions". When asked about Pakistani forces using captured civilian women as sex slaves he replied that raping them was permissible, saying "Well, those women are going to be raped anyway. So why not openly declare them londian and bring them home?"Personal life
