Jami has been very vocal about abuse in the industry. In his own story though, he didnt take any names,still the ghairat brigade is hurling insults at him and defending the not so unknown perpetrator. Asking for proofs from a rape victim whos speaking out after 13 yrs is bs #Jami https://t.co/Y0WQuWNMSk

Jami Moor – one of the great and well known directors from Pakistan, even his sad story can't get published by leading news outlets here. Now think about the victims without such influence being harassed/raped by these 'media giants'

BANANA REPUBLIC. #metoo

I am standing with you @jamiazaad tall and strong. Even if he is Lord or god of few we will fight him & it’s no joke but it needs courage to speak up as you do as you stand. Be sure we are fighting it no matter what https://t.co/Vta7RGcck7

#Jami 's story might not look exactly like the story of most of the children in our society, but believe me, sexual harrasment is majorly underreported, the cases we see aren't even the tip of the iceberg. This society needs a bloody revolution.

It's sad, cuz it seems that everywhere you turn, you find a #MeToo Takes a hell of a lot of courage to come out & sometimes the years that pass by don't make it any the less easier to face the truth. More power to the ones that have broken the silence #Jami https://t.co/JLdWolaKaC

Beforehand, Jami shared that he is “composing this now in light of the fact that #MeToo is enduring an onslaught and I’m prepared to mostly regurgitation out my very own involvement. It’s everything genuine what the unfortunate casualties state and how they state or cover-up. It’s every one of an identical example.” The director who has strongly supported  #MeToo related issues, like, the one against the Lux Style Awards finished up by saying that he knows the results of his disclosures yet it was significant for him to share since the authenticity of the movement was being addressed. “I know, presently they all will assault me too. ‘Gracious, why you remained calm till now? Rape Kar Deta Na Uska Palat Kar (You should’ve assaulted him too,” he said. “Yet, now is the ideal time.”
