THE DAUGHTER SPEAKS

A couple of years ago, writer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar was much maligned for the honeytrap episode in his life.

Now, his daughter, Hijab Khalil, has opened up about the whole saga. She says that the issue was sensationalised at a time when it was close to being resolved. She pointed out that people had become so vile that they even prayed that her father would die. We think Hijab K has a point. While there have been occasions where her dad’s behaviour has been more than questionable, especially when it comes to his comments on women, no one should wish that someone should die. Period.
