An average Pakistani young woman does not want to wear a bikini[93] in public, and for her it is important to have equal opportunity and all focus should be on that, and not on a pageant where only the elite can participate."[6] Sonia Ahmed, the president of Miss Pakistan World, defended the event as a movement for self-expression, saying that the participants have the freedom to do as they wish.[94] In 2006, Culture Ministry official Abdul Hafeez Chaudhry questioned the wearing[95] of bikinis[96] to represent Pakistan.[97]

In 2010 the organizers were criticized for holding the pageant in Ramadan and during the 2010 Pakistan floods.[98][99]
