Shots were fired:
گریٹر اقبال پارک haunted ہے
یہاں مرد حضرات کو خواتین کو دیکھ کر جن چڑھ جاتا ہے۔
ورنہ تو پاکستانی مرد حضرات بہت نیک ہوتے ہیں
تسبیح ہاتھ میں نظر نیچے اکثر تو اس قدر زمیں میں انکھیں گڑائے ہوتے ہیں کہ نظر سے گڈھا ہو جاتا ہے زمین میں۔ https://t.co/cKDWVwL52R— سَــــــرپھِـــــری (@sarphireee) August 21, 2021

People had a solution:
Dear lahori men there's more you can do other than making videos when you see someone getting harrased. Just in case you don't know You can beat the shit out of harrasers. It would be free boxing training for you and a lesson for them. https://t.co/xr3iVvVPl2
