Geo Entertainment has suspended its play-film deal with KhalilurRehman Qamar until he apologises for abusing Marvi Sirmed. He has contracts with lots of other companies so I’m going to assume he won’t care too much about this. But it’s important that Geo has set this precedent https://t.co/I8OkkVTyMp

A statement from Geo Entertainment issued Thursday (yesterday) said the contract would remain suspended until Qamar apologised, clarifying that the company had entered into a non-exclusive agreement with the writer, similar to the ones he has with other TV channels. Qamar, who is working with other TV channels as well, is also involved in a movie project that features renowned actors Mehwish Hayat and Humayun Saeed and is being shot these days.
"Geo believes in exchange of ideas and promoting the culture of Live and Let Live (Geo our Jeenay do) we believe that everyone has the right to express their opinions and the culture of the healthy debate should be encouraged," a statement from the channel read.
The statement further said such debates should be held in the norms of decency and with respect. "He [Qamar] not only used abusive language against a woman but also refused to accept his mistake and apologise for it," read the statement.
