Ali Gul Pir Responds
The Wadera Ka Beta star’s response came after the Federal Investigation Agency issued notices to him and 16 other celebrities for allegedly defaming Ali Zafar.
“Should this “hero” realise that freedom of expression is a fundamental right and that you can not react with intimidation if someone calls you an ‘alleged harasser’. This is a classic case of those with influence trying to suppress dissent,” he added.
‘Not Afraid of Threats’
Furthermore, the renowned rapper stated that neither he has ever been of afraid of threats nor will back down this time because someone can’t take a joke.
“I wasn’t scared when waderas threatened me, I didn’t shut up when terrorists threatened me and I didn’t back down when Modi’s bhakhts threatened to kill me. I will definitely not back down because someone can’t take a joke.”
Ali Gul Pir concluded by saying that he hopes that this celebrity should realize that he can not silence those who he has a difference of opinion with.
