Hamza Ali Abbasi has yet again successfully and by design found himself in another controversy. As is usually the case, Hamza took to his Facebook account and posted a status to congratulate Shahbaz Taseer and the Taseer family upon the former’s safe return after four-and-a-half years.
He could have ended it there but oh no. Hamza Ali Abbasi thanked the Afghan Taliban for ‘returning’ Shahbaz Taseer and thanked them for their efforts. He also urged the nation that ‘Afghan Taliban were not the enemies of Pakistan’. See for yourself what the ‘Pyarey Afzal’ star wrote on his Facebook page:-
And yet again, the reaction on social media was furious:-
#HamzaAliAbbasi thanks #AfghanTaliban? Time and again proved he got his foot in mouth. TV stars pseudo intellectuals https://t.co/eKezoFpg77

@iamhamzaabbasi is Zia ul Haq of entertainment industry. He has anti-moderate myopic agenda. He is a threat to liberal arts. #HamzaAliAbbasi

True to his nature, Hamza Ali Abbasi did not stop there but updated a few more statuses in favour of the Afghan Taliban. In yet another status, the Pakistani actor responded to criticism surrounding his stance on Afghan Taliban and said he still stood by his view.
