Aurat March 2020

Earlier, writer of block buster drama Mere Pass Tum Ho,  Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar had a discussion around feminism and Aurat March in a talk show.

As we all know about the director’s short-tempered behaviour, he got into an abusive spat with a participant during the talk show.

At first, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar carried on with his bit of conversation before he was interrupted by Marvi Sirmed, a former journalist.

Marvi Sirmed triggered the extremely short-tempered writer with a slogan of the upcoming Aurat March he had previously taken issue with: ‘Mera Jisam meri Marzi.’

This harmless little phrase got Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar all riled up.

After that, he got into a profanity-laced spat with Marvi and used some unacceptable and disgraceful remarks during the LIVE show.

Moreover, hashtags of #MeraJismMeriMarzi, #khalilurrehmanqamar, #AuratMarch2020 and #WeRejectMeraJismMeriMrzi is trending top on Twitter.
