What did Mohsin Abbas Haider say?
Pakistani portals are sharing screenshots of what actor and singer-songwriter Mohsin Abbas Haider said about the Kolkata rape-murder case. Mohsin issued a public apology to women around the world, writing, “I wanted to say sorry to every single woman on this planet.” He added the hashtags ‘hang the rapist’ and ‘justice for ******’ to his post.
Reactions to his post
An Instagram user reacted to the actor’s post, saying, “Indian and Pakistani women still suffer abuse in 24th century, simply because the abusers are never punished.” Another said, “Wait didn’t he physically assault his own wife?” A comment also read, “Say sorry to your wife!”
Mohsin was in news a couple of years ago amid domestic abuse claims. In 2019, pictures of his bruised ex-wife Fatema Sohail started circulating on social media; she alleged that she had suffered domestic abuse at the hands of the actor, while she was pregnant and found out he was cheating on her.
