Sindh High Court orders FIA, PTA to remove defamatory content against Kubra Khan

Sindh High Court has ordered Federal Investigating Agency to remove the offensive content on social media that has 'aggrieved' actor Kubra Khan. Taking to social media, Khan, 29, shared an official document, where SHC has directed bodies to immediately delete any/or offensive material against the actor.

"The past four days have been so difficult for me and my family that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to explain it in words," the star shared alongside her post. "I couldn’t wrap my head around as to why anyone would do this to me. Even after it was clarified that my name or initials were misinterpreted why was I still getting bullied so ferociously."

She added, "Even before I reacted, why were my pictures being used in such an inappropriate manner and then I realised because no one’s ever put a stop to it. Because we’re so used to being quiet. Until this story dies, another arises to do the same damage just because we didn’t speak up. But enough is enough."

Khan went on to comment that she is exercising her "constitutional rights as a Pakistani and relying on our law to protect my dignity and this is me saying what I want to say for all the hard-working independent women out there who are insulted daily."

Khan penned, "I’m not gonna stand here and say I stood up for every woman out there but I will say that I stood up so that from now on if a situation like this arises, every woman and man out there knows that standing up for yourself is your right! So now, I leave it in your hands, Our law implementors and God’s hands. I rest my case."

The actor's actions were lauded by her peers. Osman Khalid Butt, Mirza Gohar Rasheed, Aima Baig, Usman Mukhtar, Aisha Malik, Yumna Zaidi among others commended Khan for taking the much-needed step. "You’re the strongest girl I know!" Malik commented on Khan's post.

Her Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay co-star Mukhtar, too, shared similar sentiments. "Super proud of you for standing up to bullies. Always standing by your side," he wrote. "More power to you, Kubra," said Butt while Zaidi assured Khan that she will always find her by Khan's side.
