PML-N senator attacks Mahira Khan, calls her mentally unstable
Share
The disrespectful comments were made the day after the Humsafar actress, at an Arts Council of Pakistan event in Karachi on Sunday, declared her support for PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
Maqsood questioned Mahira about her preferred political party as they spoke about politics.
As the senator’s tweet went viral, Twitterati lashed out at him for attacking two of Pakistan’s top stars and intellectuals.
Amongst those who have stepped up to voice their dismay at the attack are Farhan Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui.
Farhan seemed furious and tweeted: “This is the mentality that doesn’t let #Pakistan grow, this is what they do when someone just gives an opinion or has a political preference. They get personal so people stop giving their opinion. Senator? Zuban jahilon wali.”
