Minar-e-Pakistan: Heinous incident sparks outrage among celebrities, netizens

Several Pakistani showbiz celebrities called out the heinous and animalistic incident at Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore after a huge crowd of around 300 to 400 men assaulted a female TikToker on Independence Day.

The first information report (FIR) was registered at the Lorry Adda police station on the TikTok star’s complaint after hundreds of unidentified persons assaulted her at Minar-e-Pakistan.

In her complaint, the Tiktoker stated that she was filming a video on 14th August along with her friends when 300 to 400 people attacked them. She said the crowd surrounded them, pushing and shoving. They also tried to tear her clothes, she added.

However, actors including Mahira Khan, Farhan Saeed, Agha Ali, Ahmed Ali Butt and many others strongly rebuked the barbaric act as the disturbing videos and images from the incident began to circulate all over social media.

Mahira Khan tweeted, “I can’t believe what I just saw!!! I’ve said it before and I will say it again – make an example out of these men! #MinarePakistan.”

Also, actress Mariyam Nafees lashed out at all those blaming women for inappropriate dressing and timing. She said no matter how the woman is, still no one has the right to behave like this.

“Akeli nahi thi. Din mein thi. Puray libaas mein thi. National monument pe thi. Muharram mein thi. Azaan horahi thi. Yeh sab na hota tab bhi kisi ko ijazat nahi thi,” wrote Nafees.

• Akeli nahi thi. Din mein thi. Puray libaas mein thi. National monument pe thi. Muharram mein thi. Azaan horahi thi.
