The Pakistani side of Twitter seems to have gone at war with playwright, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar after he hurled abuses at Marvi Sirmed on NEO TV’s live broadcast.

Singer and social activist, Shehzad Roy said what many have been saying all along: “Mera jism meri marzi nahi toh kis ki marzi ho gi??” (If my body is not mine then whose is it?)
Sanam Saeed was quite obviously appalled by Khalil-ur-Rehman.
Anaa actor Alamdar Khan called for an all out boycott of Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar dubbing him a “chauvinist” with a “disgustingly fragile ego.”
Stand-up comedian Shafaat Ali rooted for Marvi Sirmed calling her “…a lady of steel.”
Adnan Malik who played Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar in Sadqay Tumhare stood up against the writer!
He further endorsed the slogan Mera Jism Meri Marzi and the power of these four words enough to unravel the fragile male egos.
