Appalled and disgusted by the vitriol unleashed against @GFarooqi. I know my request to stop these attacks will go unheeded. But I hope it will encourage more women to fight back against hate

جو حکومت کی لائن نہیں پکڑے گا حکمران پارٹی ان پر اپنے ٹرولوں کے پٹے کھول دے گی۔ یہ رجحان بڑھانے والے شاباشی کے نہیں لعنت کے مستحق ہیں۔ غریدہ فاروقی کے خلاف اس غلیظ مہم شروع کرنے والے سب کرداروں کے خلاف حکومت کو کاروائی کرنی ہوگی تاکہ اس تاثر کی نفی ہو کہ حکومت خود اس میں ملوث ہے۔

جہاں اختلاف بنتا تھا وہاں غریدہ فاروقی سے ببانگِ دہل اختلاف کیا، اُن کے نظریے، وابستگی اور درجنوں باتوں سے آج بھی اختلاف ہو سکتا ہے لیکن اُن کے خلاف بغیر ثبوت جو غلاظت آمیز مہم چلائی جا رہی ہے وہ قابلِ مذمت ہے۔ لوگو!! بروزِ حشر خدا کو بھی منہ دکھانا ہے@GFarooqi stay strong !

@pressfreedom strongly condemns the vicious online attacks against @GFarooqi. No journalist should have to suffer this kind of abuse for doing their job. #GharidaFarooqi

This is global. Here is how it starts. My journalist colleague in Pakistan is under systematic online attack.This is the second time she’s “trending” by the onslaught linking her to a leaked sex tape. This kind of violence transfers to IRL very quickly. I stand with @GFarooqi https://t.co/Ca9p66cxSo

یہ افسوسناک ہے، شرمناک ہے، قابل گرفت ہے، خدارا! اختلاف رائے کے نام پر کردار کشی اور غلیظ مہم کو پروان نہ چڑھائیں۔ کیا آپ ایسے شرمناک ٹوئیٹس جو غریدہ کے خلاف کئے گئے ہیں اپنے گھر والوں بالخصوص والدین کو دکھا سکتے ہیں؟رحم کیجیے۔۔ پلیز!
سلامت رہو غریدہ! @GFarooqi— Ajmal Jami (@ajmaljami) September 30, 2021

The dirty and sleazy campaigns by fascist Imran junta and his goons against journalists like @GFarooqi @TalatHussain12 @SaleemKhanSafi and others only depicts what is inside their peanut size brains. You will be forgotten like a bad dream. We shall stay. Venceremos!

The former Sindh governor was purportedly seen in a video having an intimate moment with an unidentified woman. Since then, social media users believe that the woman is non other than Gharida Farooqi.
Why Gharida Farooqi?
Many social media users have made a bizarre claim that well-known anchor Gharida Farooqi was the mysterious woman in the leaked video.
According to the leaked viral video, the woman can be seen wearing the same watch and pants as Gharida in one of her interviews. Social media users were quite sharp enough to point out the similarities.
