Many people including celebrities have been debating over Prime Minister Imran Khan’s controversial comments about rape. Pakistani actor, Hamza Ali Abbasi also took to Twitter two give his two cents on the ongoing argument.
The Pyarey Afzal star has often defended and shown support to PM Imran but it seems like this time he does not agree with the premier’s views about sexual violence against women.
The actor tweeted, “Random thought:- In my personal understanding, God has made it clear in the Quran that sexual instinct is one of the most powerful instincts in both men & women hence God emphasizes on overall modesty & responsible behavior from both men & women, equally, in this particular area.”
In another tweet he cited Qur’anic verse, “Speaking as a man, in my understanding of what i believe is literal speech of God, Quran, God has very clearly told all MEN who say they are Muslims that NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE IS DRESSED LIKE OR BEHAVES LIKE, UNCONDITIONALLY LOWER YOUR GAZE & GAURD YOUR OWN MODESTY (QURAN 24:30).”
A fan wrote to Abbasi, “That’s true but we shouldn’t go around blaming women for rape culture. How women choose to dress is between them and god.”
Hamza responded, “Agreed 100%.”
Moreover, Abbasi was also questioned about his wife Naimal Khawar’s dressing, to which he replied, “She follows these verses to the best of her understanding and guards her gaze and private parts and dresses modestly and doesn’t expose her adornment. Alhamdulillah.”
