Iffat Omar often faces backlash for her political and social opinions, but she never holds back from expressing her views.
Khalilur Rehman Qamar, the country’s leading playwright, was recently abducted, beaten, and robbed of cash and valuables by a gang. After the incident, a video of him with a woman went viral on social media.
In the video, the playwright was seen with the woman in a compromising position. Since then, he has been facing a backlash on social media. At the same time, he is also fighting a case against his abductors.
Iffat Omar has always criticised Khalilur Rehman Qamar’s views about women and the feminist movement, but she has also expressed love for his writings.
After the video was leaked, Iffat Omar expressed her support for Khalilur Rehman Qamar. Without mentioning his name, Iffat Omar said: “People you have constantly abused and said such disgraceful stuff are the only ones who will speak against the atrocities of leaked private videos. Two consensual adults in their privacy is not my business. Unka jism unki marzi.”
