Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is due to undergo bypass surgery this Tuesday and social media is full of well wishers sending good thoughts to the PM and his family.
In the midst of it all, Adeel Hashmi tweeted this.

Needless to say twitter exploded, with people from either side calling out Adeel Hashmi on his rather unscrupulous tweet.
Some threatened to switch service providers and shit hit the fan
Dear @Ufone I will switch my & my family numbers tomorrow if u don't dissociate urself from @AdeelHashmi3 pic.twitter.com/JiS4mkBQul

@AdeelHashmi3

Then came this lecture on morality and ethics
Adeel hashmi doesn't belong to an uneducated class his tweet reflects that only education doesnt make us literate

Difference of opinion doesn't mean that we lose sight of humanity,compassion kindness adeel hashmi&many people like him should realize this
— Maleeha Khawaja (@maleehaomarkh) May 29, 2016
There was also confusion about which Adeel made the tweet
@LokiOddin0x Adeel Hashmi Ufone wala
— نا معلوم رانا (@ranaadeem) May 29, 2016
And somewhere along the line it went from Adeel to Adil!
However after much hate, Adeel Hashmi took down the tweet and publicly apologized.
Dear all. Let me say it again; It was a thoughtless tweet. I should've known better. For those friends who got hurt, I sincerely apologise.
— Adeel Hashmi (@AdeelHashmi3) May 27, 2016
Some called for it all to end, because people still kept on with their criticism
Guys, he's saying sorry. Lets cut him some slack shall we? https://t.co/Bl1ulVrbcA

And this guy’s apology bar is set way too high
@AdeelHashmi3 very rude way of apologizing not acceptable
— Arslan (@ArslanButt87) May 29, 2016
Voices of support echoed in the twitter-sphere
@AdeelHashmi3 No need to apologize. U expressed wat u felt. It was a tweet of century!
Par excellence and pure genius.— Mohsin Rauf (@MMohsinRauff) May 28, 2016
@AdeelHashmi3 Adeel, that was a superb tweet though the timing wasn't right. Bad Luck!
— Ray (@iKarachiwala) May 27, 2016
But, there was no end in sight to the name calling though
@AdeelHashmi3 you are a naughty boy?
— Khawar (@KhawarIkhlas) May 29, 2016
Then this guy shows up, totally in love with Adeel Hashmi
@ShahzadaJamal @DunyaNews in the divine words of Adeel Hashmi
"Wishing Pakistan a quick recovery from its PM"— Mohsin Rauf (@MMohsinRauff) May 29, 2016
At the end of the day, the tweet is gone and he apologized. There shouldn’t be any more cause for anger, right?
