Hamza Ali Abbasi is one of the great actors in Pakistan. He is loved by the audience for his great performance in drama serials and super hit movies. Yet, on the other hand, he has a reputation of saying some statements that become easily controversial. Some people admire him for his trait but this is kind of behaviour is disapproved by many.

Recently, he made a statement on the arrest of a politician. But the way he chose was not very appropriate. He said that a big fish has been caught by the civilian government for the first time in the history.  He closes the tweet by comparing General Musharraf to the main figures of the parties, taking a few names.

1st time in the history of Pak a civilian Govt arresting THE BIG FISH who have raped Pak for decades! Maybe why sum think its a conspiracy bcz its never happnd be4: & be4 u say "MUSHARRAF", he is absconder just like civilians Sharif sons, Ali Imran, Ishaq Dar, Altaf Hussain etc

The use of word ' Rape' made people upset. People do not approve the use of such sensitive word so casually. Then, people used their own platforms to express their thoughts on this tweet. 

Repeat after me:

Rape jokes are not funny.

Rape is not something that can be described as anything other than sexual violence.

Stop Using Rape as a Catch-All https://t.co/WsrEze14MB

Furthermore, people criticized him to learn more vocabulary and speak carefully. The use of such sensitive words such as rape in these small matters should be prohibited. They say that there was no need of using such a word in this context. 

Raped? Seriously Hamza, from all the vocabulary you learned to pass English Essay at CSS, you choose to use a word like rape here? https://t.co/fLYXhEY1rA

No, RAPE is apt for what they did. If i find a stronger word i will use it but for now i can't find a stronger word than tht.

Hamza has not given any other statement after being so much criticized by the fans to explain why he chose such a word to say. Public is really upset because of it. We hope the situation gets better in the future.
