Hamza Ali Abbasi is upset about LG poll results but Karachiites don't care
This time around, Abbasi chose to voice his disappointment at the outcome of the local government elections in Karachi. As we all know, MQM swept the polls, while the PTI -- the political party Hamza vehemently supports -- failed to make any significant gains in the metropolis.
Hamza Ali Abbasi turns social media into a war zone
It's hardly surprising then that Hamza didn't seem too pleased with the results.
So he decided to make a 16-minute video to basically tell Karachiites they don't know what they want.
In a video specifically addressing MQM voters, Abbasi chose to share his distress with Pakistanis asking whether they are happy with their decision and the voting result. "Are you happy with what you have? Because you deserve better Karachi," he is seen saying in the video.
The actor highlighted the country's biggest city Karachi had become synonymous with everything that is wrong in Pakistan: bad law and order, kidnappings and 'boriyan'. He also made comparisons between between Quetta, Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad, saying these cities boasted better infrastructure than Karachi. Abbasi even lauded the PML-N for its work in Lahore.
Among other things, the actor said PTI chief Imran Khan had no desire for money or power, while claiming the cricket superstar was offered Rs30 million to commentate a single match -- a claim later discredited by a senior VP at Ten Sports.

Here's the video, in case you don't believe us:
You'd think Hamza's long speech would tug at at least a few heartstrings but that wasn't the case. At all.
Ouch!
