Ayesha Gulalai is quite the conversation starter these days. The politician has plunged herself into possibly the most controversial public brawl in Pakistani political history, and she’s pulled Imran Khan with her. In a sudden surge of contention, Ayesha held a press conference that many claimed was staged, in a bid to accuse PTI founder Imran Khan with accusations of sexual harassment.

Mahira chimed in on all the threats hurled toward Ayesha and called out on how they were unnecessary

And thanked Imran Khan for his chivalrous tweet to stop people from attacking Ayesha’s sister, who was subject to wildfire-abuse

And avid PTI-supporter Hamza Ali Abbasi too grabbed this opportunity to give his opinion on the matter
Joining or leaving a political party is your right in a democracy, but using the WOMAN CARD to lie, shameful.

And then we have some people who chipped in their tweets too
Girls should understand, Boobs chotey hoon buri baat nahie , Zeeniyat choti hoon buri baat hai. #AyeshaGulalaiwazir

Media should stop or else I think #AyeshaGulalai might go for suicide. Social media please stop, ask for SMS evidence that's it. Please
