With the Aurat March being right around the corner and the Lahore High Court giving it’s verdict in favour of it, the march, has triggered many, including the misogynist writer and producer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar to such an extent that he went on to abuse Pakistani journalist Marvi Sirmed on national television.
A panel that was to talk about the Aurat March on Neo News channel, had Khalil ur Rehman reaching a new low in replying to the ‘mera jism, meri marzi’ phrase chanted by Marvi Sirmed.
Things took a turn for the worse and the audience witnessed Khalil ur Rehman bashing Marvi Sirmed and using derogatory terms for her and people are fuming!

People actually lost all hope for the women in this country:

Many were calling for a petition to ban him once and for all:

People were calling that the fellow artists boycott him:
about time artists start bycotting him as well as the audience, What a piece of scumbag https://t.co/3PdI8IvP1W

Many also believed that the media was to be blamed equally:

People were really angry, like REALLY angry, and rightly so:

People were sharing how men like him are actually trash:

He breaks his own record everyday for stooping lower and lower:
This degenerate asshole Khalil ur Rehman Qamar keeps lowering the bar every day. Why is he on TV as an analyst? What cred does he have to be speaking on issues in the first place? https://t.co/Qxqcj52BQP

People were calling incidents like these the very reason to march:

People were calling this the lowest of Pakistani television history:

Even people who think differently about Marvi stood up for her:

Many were straight up mad at his indecent and vile comments:
THE AUDACITY, HE REALLY IS A SICK AF.. NEEDS TOLEARN TO SPEAK DECENTLY LET ALONE SOME ETHICS https://t.co/4tGm42WvhY

This is totally unacceptable. You can not abuse someone on television. Shame on you Mr. Khalil ul Rehman! https://t.co/iMXLuyGlld

People were furious at the new lows Khalil ur Rehman manages to reach at every talk show:

Many were wondering why the TV would even invite people like him:

People were tagging PEMRA to do their thing:
Please do your job @reportpemra! Ban this man from appearing in any tv show, ban his scripts and drama serials. Also, ban this woman and her show who allowed all of this to happen in the first place. https://t.co/qAZD4TnPwi

Some were worried how this was setting a very wrong example for young boys:
This is peak incel behaviour. This is someone young boys look upto and empathize with. And we continue to give him screen time, provide him with all the platforms women in this country can only dream of https://t.co/PfqEUQgIoM

People were waiting for the ‘is this Islamic Republic of Pakistan’ brigade to show up:
I’m losing my mind. This man is publicly abusing a woman on national TV and there is no up roar about this!? Where is the “Is this Islamic republic of Pakistan” brigade now? YE IZZAT DETE HOU TUM LOUG AURTON KO??? https://t.co/71qJ2TG3tY
— M (@manalaijaz) March 3, 2020
People were absolutely against the abuse:
Abusing a woman is NEVER an option, no matter what. https://t.co/p380KOeBWE

Many were wondering why the man wasn’t cancelled already:

https://twitter.com/Shehzad89/status/1234926677471440897?s=19
Women were actually scared to live in this country:
https://twitter.com/shesunreliable/status/1234936218124718081?s=19
Shots were fired:
"Mera jism meri marzi jesay ghaleez naaray"
Yes! Indeed because Pakistan is the safest country for women because here they have freedom of choice, their consent is respected and they are not policed over for their clothing. Thanks khalil uncle u da best https://t.co/lTDcpY8kZE

Marvi herself took to Twitter to share how Khalil ur Rehman Qamar will get away with this:
If such piece of crap was a playwright in a civilized media industry, he would have been boycotted and would be reduced to ashes. But this is our beloved Islamic Republic. The misogynist abuser won't have to face any consequences. He'd be welcomed by every media house. https://t.co/2AVOe15keR
— Marvi Sirmed (@marvisirmed) March 3, 2020
People also suggested that programs like these be banned:
Multiple learnings:
– KRQ should actually be banned from appearing in a panel again.
-The host should have asked KRQ to stop with his foul mouth but instead chose to request Marvi Sirmed to stay quite
-Programs like these should be stopped if it gets ugly
-KRQ is a cunt https://t.co/Y3dAibDIwq— K (@Khushal) March 3, 2020
People were upset at people who were supporting him:
worst part about this is that he'll get away with this and we still have people who'll support him https://t.co/K9AOMn5KD9
— zain (@zaenhk) March 3, 2020
The sad reality:
The host keeps asking her to stop talking and keeps enticing Khalil to go on. The Maulana sahab is silent. He keeps abusing, calling her a bitch, downright cursing her, shaming and objectifying her body, on live television.
The whole nation keeps loving him. https://t.co/a1vOE25EAv
