While the fans congratulated him from the bottom of their hearts, some werenât ready to accept him receiving the award of Pride of Pakistan. With the topic of âAli Zafarâ trending in Pakistan, many spoke up that he didnât deserve to be the recipient of this award. They argued that this award is more of a sympathy award than an achievement or appreciation award. Oppressors of Atif Aslam- believe that giving awards to sexual harassers is the way how our society sympathizes and encourages them to do more acts alike.
This is the way how Pakistan tries to make the harassers more confident and proud of themselves, said folks on Twitter. One of the Twitter users said that these are the acts that lead to the promotion of toxic culture, toxic masculinity, misogyny, and male insecurity in Pakistan. One said that instead of Ali Zafar- Murtaza Solangi was the right deserving of this award.
