Ali Zafar and Meesha Shafi

Renowned Pakistani Singer Meesha Shafi in a tweet, accused Ali Zafar of sexual harassment.

“I will break the culture of silence that permeates through our society. It is not easy to speak out.. but it is harder to stay silent. My conscience will not allow it anymore #MeToo”, said Meesha Shafi in a tweet.

 

Meesha Shafi is getting a positive response on social media for speaking against this culture of harassment.

“I have been subjected, on more than one occasion, to sexual harassment of physical nature at the hands of a colleague from my industry: Ali Zafar,” Meesha Shafi added.

“These incidences did not happen when I was young, or just entering the industry. This happened to me despite the fact that I am an empowered, accomplished woman who is known for speaking her mind. This happened to me as a mother of two children.”

“Ali is someone who I have known for many years and someone who I have shared the stage with. I feel betrayed by his behavior and his attitude and I know that I am not alone.

Today I am breaking the culture of silence and I hope that by doing that I am setting an example for young women in my country to do the same. We only have our voices and the time has come to use them”.

However, Ali Zafar denied all claims of Meesha Shafi.
