Another day, another hate speech by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and this time he isn’t just targeting women. In a show on BOL, the writer went on to spew hate against Adnan Malik and the rest of the industry calling them hijras, a slur for transgenders in our society.
What’s more problematic is the applause and cheers that followed after his transphobic comments. What triggered Khalil ur Rehman Qamar was Adnan Malik speaking out against his misogynistic remarks on twitter:
I think this sums up my views in general regarding KUQ & me playing him in Sadqay Tumhare. 🤢 https://t.co/zEQckWOgLu

It should also be noted that Adnan Malik played Khalil in Sadqay Tumhare which was based off of Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’s true love story. As the video surfaced the internet, people were disgusted at the vile and transphobic comments:
Hijra hona is so much better than being a foul-mouth lowlife man.
Adnan Malik will always remain a better man for standing up for equal rights. Also for betterment of our society,KRQ shouldnt be given platform to propagate his filth. Applause & laughter he received is disturbing— SabahatMS (@SabahatMS) March 11, 2020

Rightly said:
It takes a special kind of turd to presume that being called 'hijra' would register as an insult.
Dear turd, being trans is not something to be feared or insulted by.
In fact trans persons have more courage in their pinky fingernails than you have in your entire 'jism'. https://t.co/0S2GNRHIbM

Many pointed out how there is nothing wrong in being a hijra:
Koi inse zara yeh poocha k Hijra ko bhi Allah ne hi banaya ha, Hijra honay se koi kamtar hojata ha? Bohat hi koi neech zehniyat ha..Astaghfirullah!

He’s a writer. He represents the top class from his industry. He represents Pakistan. Millions love him. He’s transphobic. He’s sexist. He’s insensitive. He’s full of himself. He’s inhuman. He’s shit. https://t.co/DRYEx2q2yv

People were now seeing that his problematic behaviour was not just limited to women:
This is what I've trying to tell everyone. He is not only insulting to women but men too. He has been doing it in the past. His supporters should know that he has absolutely no filters and can even insult them if he feels like it.

Many thought it was about time that words like ‘hijra’ and ‘khusra’ should not be used as insults:
The word "Hijra" needs to be stopped thrown around as an insult! Wou bhi insan han, Allah ki makhlooq hain. Aur Pakistan jesi society main unn main se ek honay se zyada bari azmaish shayid hi koi hou. https://t.co/QeUI51YOos

People were also furious at the channels who keep calling him for the sake of ratings:
The only thing worse than this excuse of a man is our brazen and insolent media that keeps giving him platforms to present his cheap immortalities,along with the people who enjoy deplorable scandals such as these. Maut nai aati tou sharam tou aati ho gi. https://t.co/uskC3soZYt

What do you think about KRQ’s transphobic comments? Let us know in the comments below!
Transgenders so called Hijras are also humans. But YOU certainly are not one.
This man seriously has some psychic issues. I feel sorry for him.
“We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.”
