Actress Sabeena Farooq wants to know if public servants should stop doing their jobs if they don’t subscribe to the politics of whoever is in power.

Her question was in response to a video of former TV host and newly-minted politician Iqrar ul Hassan confronting an immigration officer he claims pointed at him while he was in line at Lahore airport and said, “He’ll be ridiculed like Jawad Ahmed.” He was referring to the popular singer who launched an unsuccessful stint in electoral politics in 2019.

In an Instagram story, Farooq questioned if Hassan wanted all government servants who didn’t vote for the government to “sit at home,” or did he want them to “worship whoever was in power”?

She asked if the United States government had stopped running because its workers didn’t like President Donald Trump and whether people stopped having the right to hold opinions because they were working for the state.

The actress said Hassan was one of the people “who preach peace and calm in Ramazan” and asked if this is how the TV host chose to use what “little power and fame” he had acquired.

She ended her note saying real men don’t yell at people and spit on their faces, but instead have the ability to express themselves gently.
