Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar is not a new name when it comes to humiliating women and being a shameless prick about it. Despite being a successful writer, he holds no respect and basic decency when it comes to talking to women. Recently, on a live TV show, Khalil Ur Rehman lost his cool for no apparent reason and started misbehaving with Pakistani journalist, Marvi Sirmed.
Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar literally gave gaali on live TV last night while he appeard on a talk show to share why he hates women
The writer was on a talk show to discuss the aftermath of the decision of the Lahore High Court to throw away the petition trying to block Aurat March 2020. He was sharing why he thinks slogans like “mera jism meri marzi” trigger his fragile masculinity.
While speaking up he addressed Marvi Sirmed, a fellow panelist and journalist, saying that when women like her raise those slogans his heart breaks. At this point, from what it appears, Marvi tried to taunt him by saying the words “mera jism meri marzi” and lo and behold, that unleashed the disgusting vitriol from the misogynistic writer.
He called Marvidisgraceful things such as “tere jism mein hai kya?”, “uloo ki pathi” and the good old “bitch“.
All this while, the talk show host kept trying to shut Marvi up and not the abuse that was coming out of Khalil’s mouth. Wonder where PEMRA really is when incidents of actual violence against women are needed to be controlled.

Naturally, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar giving a gaali has gotten a lot of Pakistanis naturally very angry
For many, feminism may or may not be a thing to support on a personal level but abuse is a line that one never crosses. For a man who claims to be the biggest feminist in the world and fancies himself an intellectual, to go and abuse a woman in such disgusting manner on live TV is appalling, to the say the least.
Khalil ur Rehman is the perfect representation of the male ego in this society. He thinks it's his right to swear and shout at women on live TV, claims to know everything about women rights and is a man baby who constantly whines
He thinks it is *his* right to have the last word

Khalil ur Rehman should be socially boycotted by all who believe in some form of decency.A woman’s body is her own & only she has a right over it-fundamental rights.Stand in solidarity with .@marvisirmed & sad to see all misogynists come out of woodwork as #Auratmarch approaches.

Finally celebrities found the courage to condemn Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar after his gaali when their silence had been deafening about his behavior in the recent past
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

Just saw the obnoxious incident between Khalil Saab and Marvi Sirmad. I see people writing "You can't talk to a lady like that" and that's where the problem lies. It's not a matter of gender. You can't talk to ANYONE like that! Not even an animal. Khalil Saab is a disgrace 🤦🏻♂️🤮

Just watched a Program Clip where Mr khalil ur Rehman Qamar is badly abusing @marvisirmed for saying Mera Jism Meri Marzi Out loud.
I want to bring it on Record that I’m Truly Ashamed today because Geo has recently signed a contract with this Person.— Rabia Anum Obaid (@RabiaAnumm) March 3, 2020
A petition to boycott the writer has also begun circulating
Perhaps, banning him could be the only compensation left to all the disgusting behavior he has helped normalize, especially against women.

People also called out TV channels who invite Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar so he can spew gaali and perpetuate his dangerous views for the sake of their ratings
I hv not seen such a JAAHIL insan like #khalilurrehmanqamar who the hell he think he is ? News channel invite him, so that he ends up uttering some nonsense and they can fetch some TRPs ! shame on tv channels & Khalil ! Disgraceful

After this sickening behavior, people are beginning to question the writer’s sanity
By loosing control over tongue 👅, one has already exhausted his arguments and sanity, both at the same time #khalilurrehmanqamar

The anchor of the show who did not stop Khalil Ur Rehman from his gaali, is also being questioned for allowing such abuse to go unmuted on live TV
The anchor should be brought to task and taught how to steer a healthy talk rather than bringing it to this point. Condemnable act and you need to take a strict action against #khalilurrehmanqamar

Many are calling actors and channels who are continuing to collaborate with Khalil Ur Rehman despite his dangerous behavior toward women

Sadly, despite the obviously dangerous, uncivilized remarks made by the actor incels and internet trolls are continuing to laud Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar after his gaali showing exactly why he is a dangerous man to be put as an example for society
If you want to see how deely rooted misogyny & patriarchy is in our country, look at the people coming out in support of #khalilurrehmanqamar. The filth & abuse directed towards women knows no bounds. These are the same people who remain silent when women & children are abused.
— Dr. Tanya Ahmad (@tanyaahmad) March 4, 2020
This man #khalilurrehmanqamar reeks of ego and privilege. Only a potential abuser will take exception to the slogan #MeraJismMeriMarzi, because he assumes it is a violation of men’s right to own women’s bodies.
— Paul (@mrithejester) March 4, 2020
His behavior has only emboldened more women to proudly chant why they need activities like Aurat March and why they believe in important statements like mera jism meri marzi
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

#MeraJismMeriMarzi is not ‘ghaleez and ghattiya’ but #khalilurrehmanqamar certainly is.

With the filth he spoke, this hateful geezer only strengthened the case for the Aurat March, and encapsulated exactly what women are fighting against.— Paul (@mrithejester) March 4, 2020
#MeraJismMeriMarzi @marvisirmed You have done a great job in exposing that zaleer ur rehman duffer and hypocrisy of our society. pic.twitter.com/t4dAO4Dhzk

Seeing the dangerously misogynistic views being perpetuated by Khail Ur Rehman and the support from industry insiders as well as internet trolls really reveals the depravity of our society, today. The fact that no one could give him a shut up call during the show, or even before when he proudly shared his dangerous views about women, is an evidence of the deep rooted misogyny prevailing in this society. People are finally waking up to his dangerous behavior and calling him out for abusing a woman on TV and it’s high time action is taken against such behavior.
