Ansar Abbasi rejects Domestic Violence Bill and Twitter is angry

Senate passed two key government bills related to human rights last month, which include the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Bill 2021 and the Islamabad Capital Territory Senior Citizens Bill 2021.

Both the bills were opposed by Mushtaq Ahmed from Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Atta-ur-Rehman from Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F), and Rana Maqbool from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) .

Analyst Ansar Abbasi took to his Twitter account to oppose the bill using the hashtag “We_Reject_Domestic_Violence_Bill_2021”.

Twitter is criticising Ansar Abbasi for starting the trend. Have a look at some of the Tweets:

Not us candidly admitting domestic abuse is our culture that we'd go to any lengths to protect https://t.co/ec2zo6320Z

Won’t condemn paedophilia, sexual assaults and rapes in madrassas… WILL NEVER EVER SPEAK UP AGAINST THESE MULLAHS WHO ARE CAUGHT RED HANDED… but will consider a bill curbing domestic violence as being against our “traditions and values”

Ansar sahib, you are pathetic! https://t.co/tFZfxfpJDB

Only domestic abusers would reject a bill that maybe finally criminalizes domestic abuse and violence. https://t.co/T8aHcxZ92y
