Khalil Ur Rehman is someone who’s always under different controversies due to his unsuitable conversations in the interviews and talk shows.
Last night, Khalil Ur Rehman appeared on a local TV channel and cursed a woman on live television. And, the topic was none other than the Aurat March. He explained how he’s against the slogans of Aurat March.
In response to a question by the host, Qamar started off by saying,
“When the court has denied the usage of slogans like ‘Mera jism, Meri marzi’ (My body, my choice), then it hurts me deeply when figures like Marvi Sirmed use these slogans.”
The moment he spoke this, Sirmed interrupted his reply by repeating the same slogan over and over again. This left Qamar perplexed as he started yelling at her in a mortifying way.
He said,
“Tere jism men hai kya? (What is in your body) Don’t talk in between. Thookta nahi hai koi tere jism pe (No one would even spit on your body). Shut up you b****. Beech men nahi bolo (Don’t talk in between).”
Upon this whole controversy, here’s how celebrities are reacting:
I am shocked at what I have just heard and seen!! Sick to the core. This same man who abused a woman on tv is revered and given project after project because of what? We are as much to blame if not more for perpetuating this thinking! #khalilurrehmanqamar

The problem with outrage culture when it comes to matters of the entertainment industry is aside from checking boxes (being on the 'right' side of a debate) & preaching to the converted, what good has it done us?

Mera Jism meri marzi.

Mujhe maa tab bana hai jab mera jism yeh bojh utha sakay na ke tab jab society kahay maa bano.Mera Jism meri marzi

I personally think it’s imperative that those that stand with the idea of standing up for your rights should write and speak with clarity. A lot gets lost when we try to match jahaaalat with jahaalat, abuse with abuse. There MUST be a difference.

Don't understand the problem so many are having with #MeraJismMeriMarzi"-Mera jism meri marzi nahi toh kis ki marzi ho gi?? "My body is mine" is a critical component of the Life Skills Based Education classes we teach to help children protect themselves from abuse & harassment

Trash is always produced by channels who wish to gain ratings and a greater audience share. Amir Liaquat, the Islamic scholar. Mubashar Luqman, the investigative journalist…Maya Khan, the moral policewoman. Now Khalil ur Rehman Qamar, the chauvinistic bully.

What's scarier than #KhalilurRehman's temper, insecurities and mysogonistic attitude, is us who continue to encourage and engage him. Who cares if you're a good writer. You're a vile human being. Who speaks like that? What gives u the right to pass judgment like that? #Shameful

Disgusted.
He should be banned from all kinds of platforms. He’s not only a shame to our industry but to human race. Such abusive & disrespectful behaviour shall not be tolerated. Anyone who works with him is equally responsible for his behaviour. #khalilurrehmanqamar— MAWRA HOCANE (Hussain) (@MawraHocane) March 4, 2020
