Who can deny the power of social media? Making any topic or personality the topic of discussion for the entire nation in moments is a left hand game for social media users. Something similar is happening with North Nazimabad Assistant Commissioner Hazim Bangwar. In just twenty-four hours, Hazem Bangwar has become the center of social media users’ posts and conversations, to the point that Hazem Bangwar’s name is at the fourth position among Pakistan’s top trending hashtags on Twitter.
But it is strange that Hazem Bangwar’s name is being discussed not because of his achievements as Assistant Commissioner but because of his personal life and his love for fashion. The sad fact is that a “worthy person” is mentioned in a derogatory manner simply because he is different from the so-called “men” of our society. The retention and dealing of an Assistant Commissioner is not what it should be (in the eyes of certain sections). This assistant commissioner does not have a big moustache, a swarthy face, a croupier and a pharaonic style, but a friendly Shafiq is performing his duties with a smile and a gentle disposition. How can all this be tolerated by the hypocrites of our society?
We just called Hazem Bangwar “capable”. Because ability is not affected by one’s outward appearance. But those criticizing Hazem Bangwar on social media have an attitude as if his commitment to fashion or his demeanor is against his ‘qualification’ and the post of Assistant Commissioner does not suit him. One can only regret the thinking of such people. If Hazim is to be introduced, apart from his degree in Fashion Designing and Marketing, he also holds an LLB degree from the University of London. And this degree is definitely not “fake” like Pakistani politicians. Hazem’s mother Ferozi Akbar hailed from Iraq and was an architect, while father Ali Akbar Bangwar was a former DIG of Police in Pakistan. Hazim was born in Karachi but grew up and studied in New York. His relationship with Pakistan also continued.
Hazim has taken a degree in fashion designing, so obviously he is related to the fashion industry as well. During his academic days he also composed music and sang. His first mixtape was released in 2013. After making a name for himself in hip-hop writing skills in 2014, he also produced hip-hop tracks for various English singers. In 2019, his song “Haram” peaked at number five on the International Music Charts in just one week. Hazim was the first Pakistani singer to enter international charts with his English song. During this time he was also the brand ambassador of three big companies. In 2021, Hazem’s first Urdu song “Taj Ko Bhallaya” was released and recently his first music album “Playing with Fire” was released.
This was Hazem’s talent in the world of fashion, but apart from fashion designing, he also holds an LLB degree. Referring to the general attitude of people after coming to Pakistan, Hazim said, “People used to say that you will not be able to stay here, you will not be able to stay here.” But now I was stubborn. I became stubborn, so I took the SPSC exams and passed in the first attempt.” This is Hazem’s own statement, but if you check the qualifications of the protestors, how many of them are qualified to sit in the “competition exam”. can also Here is the merit state that when the CSS 2022 exam results were announced last year, the pass percentage was only 1.94%. Shouldn’t Hazem’s ability be appreciated in such a situation? Let’s put this ability aside.
Hazim is also active in welfare works. His philanthropic organization also works on other environmental projects, including cleaning up coastal areas. While if his social media accounts are reviewed, one will get to see pictures of many welfare-related achievements which are long before he became an Assistant Commissioner, that is, all these welfare works are “showcases”. ‘ for or after going ‘viral’. How many percent of those who criticize Hazem’s appearance have pain in their hearts for the sake of God? Will they want to peek into their necks?
The motivation of our writing is not only that Hazim’s personality is currently a topic of discussion on social media and we also want to include our name in the “viral” posts, but the main purpose of this writing is not just Hazim, but also about our society. Hypocritical and low attitudes are mentioned. Where it is being written in support of Hazem, the critics seem to be crossing the limits of moral decay. Undoubtedly, Hazim’s style is characterized by femininity and elegance, but he is a man, of course, apart from ordinary men, but he has not shown himself to be a representative of any other gender in any forum. But social media users in their moral decline are calling him transgender or a representative of the third gender and linking him to the LGBT movement. Legally, as long as a person does not self-identify as another gender, no one can point a finger at it, and derision of someone’s appearance and behavior is considered a “body”.
The majority of the protestors are people who are not even remotely related to ethics. How can anyone judge someone’s character by their appearance (rather a charge in our society)? How can one say what a person would be like in solitude? Hazem’s status is Assistant Commissioner, if he shirks his duties, commits corruption or if he is not fit for this position, then he can be questioned, finger can be pointed at him. But who gave critics the right to vilify his character by accusing him of his “morality” or private life without any evidence? On this, some people are debating LGBT and religion, which is another hypocritical act. These are the people who use religion only as arguments in favor of their personal interests and their objections, but are far removed from actual practice.
I would also like to mention an incident. Traveling in public transport has been for a long time. Once a nineteen-twenty-year-old frail boy boarded a crowded bus. It was obvious from the boy’s manner that he rarely went to public places, his face and dress also exuded politeness. As soon as he boarded the bus, the faces of many of the passengers were showing malicious smiles and suppressed laughter. Due to the rush in the bus, the boy was feeling insecure and was trying to keep his body away from others as much as possible. When he named the stop while paying the fare, some people laughed regularly because the boy’s voice was soft and lilting, like a maiden speaking. Some of the passengers started trying to get “free” from the boy and some sentences were being thrown. Unable to tolerate these behaviors, the boy got off two stops ahead. The moisture in his eyes was clearly visible while getting off the bus. Boys Even after getting off the bus, the same topic was discussed. One person said, “They will get off the bus, but they will not correct themselves.” Someone put a decisive stamp on the character of this boy with his sentence, while someone referred to religion and declared “such” people as submissive and hellish. I could see that some of these so-called nobles and “pure men” were trying to forcefully enter the ladies’ compartment and some were “sinking” their eyes from a distance. At such a time, his religious teachings were lying somewhere. were doing and had been “sinking” their eyes from some distance. At such a time, his religious teachings were lying somewhere. were doing and had been “sinking” their eyes from some distance. At such a time, his religious teachings were lying somewhere.
There is a lot to write but Express’ censor policy does not allow these things to be censored. All those who are debating Hazem’s sexual orientation without evidence are free advice to look into their necks. You people who are making accusations on social media without proof and in response to these objections are saying in their own right that the attraction between man and woman is nature itself, so remember that nature has also given some rules. Your religion has also told you to protect your eyes. Do not use religion for your own benefit but apply it to your life. All those people who object should look into their necks to see if they are really pure themselves. Are you fully following the religious teachings? Have you ever committed a sin? If so, don’t accuse anyone without proof. Because slandering someone is also a sin.
Finally, some things for Hazem. First of all, we pay tribute to Hazem that he is serving with his dedication in this hypocritical society. Don’t care people, your private life is your own, but this is Pakistani society and the values of the society you are living in should be taken care of anyway. Whatever you do in your private life, but in the position you are in now, you will be held accountable. Even in Western countries where an official has to answer for his actions, a common man can question even the slightest lapse of ethics, even if it was committed years ago. And how many examples are there in Western society when various officials have apologized for their past moral lapses. We hope that you will not consider this as an “accusation” but as a “suggestion” and take care to respect this position as long as you are in this position.
