According to media reports, a Pakistani film named 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' is all set to release in India.
Interestingly, the movie features actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, who happens to be a terrorist sympathiser and an advocate of the two-nation theory.
(1/n)
Hamza Ali Abbasi has been unabashed in his vocal support for the 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind, Hafiz Saeed.
Despite being well aware that Saeed engineered the deadly terror attack which left 166 people dead, Abbasi was seen giving a clean chit to the terrorist.
(2/n)
“Hafiz Saeed is not a terrorist! His only fault? He speaks for & rallies the youth for Kashmir!” the Pakistani actor claimed in a 2019 tweet.
This is despite the fact that Hafiz Saeed had been sanctioned by the United Nations a decade earlier.

Here is the UN Security Council sanction summary on Hafiz Saeed for those who don't think that he is a terrorist:

Once, Hamza Ali Abbasi was confronted with a video of Hafiz Saeed peddling hate against the Ahmadi sect of Pakistan.
Check how the actor had tried shielding the 26/11 mastermind and justifying the discrimination. (5/n)
The actor has been a long-proponent of the divisive ‘Two Nation Theory.'
Under the pretext of criticising the CAA and abrogation of Article 370, he unleashed his bigotry on Twitter.
(6/n)
Hamza Ali Abbasi was also seen endorsing the views of Syed Ali Geelani and peddling mass hysteria about a supposed ‘genocide’ in Kashmir.
(7/n)
Besides advocating for terrorist Hafiz Saeed on social media and propagating the ‘ideals’ of the bigoted ‘Two Nation theory’, Hamza Ali Abbasi also unleashes the inner ‘Maulvi (cleric)’ in him from time to time.
(8/n)
He had declared items songs as ‘Haram’ & even ‘quit‘ showbiz to get close to Allah. Later, he backtracked on his claims.
When netizens called out his double speak, he went on to re-interpret Islamic restrictions on music & acting and claimed that they are not entirely Haram. 9/n
In May 2021, Abbasi announced that he was back in the ‘Haram’ film industry again.
Recently, he suggested that music is not ‘entirely Haram‘ so as to claim that there is no conflict between his acting profession and his Faith.
Narrative gymnastics at its finest! (10/n)
Indians are now left with a clear choice to decide whether they want to monetarily support a movie, whose actor is a staunch supporter of terrorist Hafiz Saeed and a proponent of the ‘Two Nation Theory.’
