The verbal fight in a live TV show where abusive language was used by Khalil–ur-Rehman Qamar has met with a lot of criticism from Pakistani celebrities and Journalists.
A lot of people expressed their solidarity with rights activist and Journalist Marvi Sirmed. She was abused by Khalil–ur-Rehman Qamar in a live TV show.
Solidarity with @marvisirmed – shameful, unacceptable conduct by someone who claims to be a 'writer')
( P.S. this guy needs professional help. The least TV channels can do is to ban him from the screens.)— Raza Ahmad Rumi (@Razarumi) March 3, 2020
More power to @marvisirmed. In solidarity with you! #MERAJISMMERIMARZI #understandtheslogan https://t.co/ykWM3fAxt7

Mahira khan and Amir Liaqat Spoke against Khalil–ur-Rehman Qamar
خلیل الرحمن قمر کا فرعونی انداز دیکھ کر مولائے کائنات سیدنا علی المرتضی کرم اللہ وجہہ الکریم کا یہ قول مبارک پھر سامنے آگیا
“طاقت، دولت، شہرت اور اختیار (یا اقتدار)
انسان کو بدلتے نہیں
بے نقاب کردیتے ہیں@marvisirmed #khalil #marvi #khalilurrehmanqamar— Aamir Liaquat Husain (@AamirLiaquat) March 4, 2020
I am shocked at what I have just heard and seen!! Sick to the core. This same man who abused a woman on tv is revered and given project after project because of what? We are as much to blame if not more for perpetuating this thinking! #khalilurrehmanqamar

Sarmad Khhosat and Sanam Saaed also Criticized Khalil–ur-Rehman Qamar
What's scarier than #KhalilurRehman's temper, insecurities and mysogonistic attitude, is us who continue to encourage and engage him. Who cares if you're a good writer. You're a vile human being. Who speaks like that? What gives u the right to pass judgment like that? #Shameful

Shehzad Roy supported Aurat Marach and Slogan “Mera Jism Meri Marzi”
Don't understand the problem so many are having with #MeraJismMeriMarzi"-Mera jism meri marzi nahi toh kis ki marzi ho gi?? "My body is mine" is a critical component of the Life Skills Based Education classes we teach to help children protect themselves from abuse & harassment

Journalist community also came forward in defense of Marvi Sirmed and Condemned remarks of Khalil–ur-Rehman Qamar
حضرت علی علیہ السلام کا قول ہے بے شک انسان اپنی زبان کے پیچھے چھپا ہے۔
مزمت اس شخص کے کئے انتہائی چھوٹا لفظ ہے، مجھے حیرت ہے کہ یہ صاحب لکھاری ہیں، ان کی سوچ اور ان کے فلسفے پر صد افسوس ۔ انٹلچکوئل کرپشن کی اعلی مثال یہ شخص ہے۔ https://t.co/pfX990Eg7V— Asma Shirazi (@asmashirazi) March 4, 2020

ٹھیک ہے
نظریے سے اختلاف ہے ، مناسب !
مگر یہ طرزتکلم تواس مخبر خاتون کے ساتھ مولا علی کا بھی نہیں تھا جس نے جنگ میں مخبری کا کام سر انجام دیا
