Desi liberals, a segment of the community defined for its socio-political stance that is often influenced by a jargon of liberalism. It may be ridiculous to absolutely condemn them for their viewpoint. Ideally, most liberals in Pakistan believe their perspectives to be independent, rational, based on equality and liberty. It is also thought to be somewhat secular, having freedom of speech as well as openness to change.

However, most liberals in Pakistan do not have the clear picture. They seem to have followed a movement, jumped onboard a bandwagon that they think grants them some rights, which is why they are often profiled as “pseudo-liberals”. Moreover, its cultural profiling has become popular. You know, “it’s cool to be liberal”, which is why many of those who claim to be liberals have a juvenile perspective and are often found to be misleading themselves.
Meanwhile, Hamza Ali Abbasi triggered a major chunk of people once again… In other words: the sky is blue!
Hamza, a popular actor, TV host, and social activist has been very vocal about his social and political stance. He sides with PTI and Imran Khan on his political point of view and is often found to be bashing desi liberals who come forward to allegedly present baseless arguments (according to him).
And again, Hamza Ali Abbasi calls out desi liberals…
*shots fired*
The same Pseudo Liberals who attacked Imran Khan & called him "Taliban Khan" when he said we have brought America's war on our own soil are now supporting Manzoor Pishteen's deceptive movement laced with anti army slogans! 21 topon ki salaami desi pseudo liberals ki hypocrisy ko!
