A video of Bilal Saeed engaging in a physical fight against a man and a woman went viral yesterday. Many shamed the artist for physically abusing the woman while others – unsurprising and disappointingly – felt he was doing precisely what women asked for when they demanded equal rights.
Saeed became a top trend on Pakistani Twitter as thousands of users shared their two cents on his behaviour, after which, he took to the micro-blogging site to share his own.
“Every human has the right to live with dignity and security, regardless of gender. I am a believer of peace, however I also believe in establishing boundaries when that peace is repeatedly compromised by another, regardless of gender,” he wrote.
