Given that sexist author, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar seems to be spreading his misogyny everywhere he goes, it’s about time television shows and producers stopped giving him airtime and prominence.
We believed that the ‘Mere Pass Tum Ho‘ screenwriter had gone too far when he insulted journalist Marvi Sirmad on live television for supporting the slogan ‘Mera Jism Meri Marzi,’ and then attacked actress Mahira Khan for denouncing this horrifying display of violence. It was shocking that the screenwriter was still invited to appear on public shows and compose dramas for entertainment channels despite this. As always, the entertainment industry knows that using women as punching bags is the best way to profit from this and boost viewers.
We have the misfortune of yet again hearing Mr. Qamar talk about how filthy ladies are. Sana Hayat, the winner of the Miss Pakistan 2022 competition, and the author both made guest appearances on a 7 News Digital program where Sana Hayat spoke in-depth about the challenging conditions Pakistani women must face in the workplace to succeed. Sana talked about the various pressures that women experience from their families and society.
When it was Mr. Qamar’s turn to answer, he made a crude remark about Sana perhaps having some unpleasant experiences. He reacted angrily when Sana attempted to elaborate, saying, “Don’t interrupt me,” before going on a tirade about how Sana is mistaken when she claims that Pakistani women face discrimination in the workplace. According to Khalil Ur Rehman, anyone who shares personal experiences when debating subjects has a weak understanding of the world.
Men are also exploited in some settings, according to Qamar, who acknowledged that women are being taken advantage of in the workplace.
For instance, in the private sector, a woman will obtain employment based on her qualifications if she is determined to do so. However, they also employ other strategies.

If women desire equality,” the screenwriter added in a husky voice. Therefore, they ought to abandon the 33% quota they have been given and base everything instead on merit.
It is surprising that Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar is still being requested to appear on programmes in 2023 to deconstruct and explain the very problems that Pakistani women are now facing today. Why is it important to have a man’s perspective on the problems that women face? Why do our stations still feel the need to give him a voice even after seeing him repeatedly mistreat with actresses and mock the rising rape and violence against women concerns in Pakistan? In addition, it was disappointing to see a female host participate in this show by degrading her female guest in this manner.
By introducing a man notorious for his misogynistic outbursts, she attempted to undermine Sana Hayat’s well-reasoned response, demonstrating how television networks are aware that women’s suffering equals more revenue for them.
Every toxic individual in our society is represented by Khalil Ur Rehman. His increased popularity following the live televised meltdown is evidence that people enjoy watching unhappy women. There is nothing that drives money and ratings more than capitalizing on the pain and misery of other women, and Khalil Ur Rehman is nothing but a sum of his mediocre scripts, which promote the narrative that an ambitious woman is a toxic woman, and turn violence inflicted upon women into comedy relief.
Because exploiting the suffering of other women is the single best way to increase revenue and ratings, our channels support Khalil Ur Rehman’s subpar scripts, which promote the myth that an ambitious woman is toxic and turn violence against women into comedic relief. Khalil Ur Rehman represents everything that is wrong with Pakistani men.
We could go on and on with the innumerable instances of Mr. Rehman’s continued brazen unreserved disrespect for women and their difficulties, but we’re tired of publishing the same opinion articles over and over again.
Since we can decipher your formulas, we’d only ask entertainment stations to quit depending on Mr. Qamar for their ratings. Sana Hayat and all other female public figures owe Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar an apology for his reliance on divisive narratives and gossip publications that use women as scapegoats.
