Actor, director and social media activist Hamza Ali Abbasi is making headlines for all the wrong reasons these days. Abbasi’s current TV play, Mann Mayal is full of haywire, obnoxious plotlines and sheer nonsense while his Facebook status updates continue to land him in trouble, time and again.
Actor, director and social media activist Hamza Ali Abbasi is making headlines for all the wrong reasons these days. Abbasi’s current TV play, Mann Mayal is full of haywire, obnoxious plotlines and sheer nonsense while his Facebook status updates continue to land him in trouble, time and again.
The most recent example is the legal notice served to him by the Punjab Government for spreading ‘false rumours’, with regards to one of his posts on the abduction of children across the province.
In response to the notice, Abbasi took to social media and shared a long post on his official Facebook account along with links to media channels and publications that support his ‘false rumours’.
The post read: “So the Govt of Sharif Royal Family has sent me a prosecution notice that I spread false rumours about 900 children being kidnapped from Lahore and spread ‘Fear’ in the people. Being a common man, I get my news and facts from News Channels and Newspaper articles, so following are the links… If above mentioned information is wrong, then instead of sending notices to these media outlets from which Pakistanis get their information from, they sent me a notice showing the clear intention of this Dictatorial Govt to take down any popular voice against them. P.S: Jamhooriyat Mubarak Ho!”
According to reports, the actor has been asked to apologize for sharing that post but he has refused to do so.
