In yet another episode of intolerance, Assistant Commissioner of North Nazimabad, Karachi, Hazim Bangwar, has received a backlash from a section of social media for “promoting LGBTQ+ agenda” after he got a bridge within his locality painted mainly in primary colours.
A social media user in a Twitter thread criticised Bangwar for apparently promoting the LGBTQ agenda through these colours.
A civil servant should abide by the law & constitution of 🇵🇰. But @HazimBangwar decided to act otherwise.
Painting 🏳️🌈 colours for kids play area for subtle messaging is exactly how homosexuals & pedophiles operate.
These woke extremists need to be responded by common ppl. https://t.co/s8pyCrJL7D

However, some social media users confronted him, saying that these were common colours.
What nonsense! these are not pride colors. Pride colors are 6~8, these are just 4.

Just that you know. There is a complete variety of these flags available as per their movement. Pride flag encompasses all those sub cultures and their representative flags.
Each strip of these colours specially the provide colour has its own meaning. Read about it. pic.twitter.com/8r3Bh12V4Q

Hazim Bangwar also responded to the backlash and said that he copied and recreated as per the opinions shared by the public with him.
A little clarification for the one’s fainting from confusion. I simply copied and recreated what was shared with me by the public including the colors and the design. I don’t mind the small minded talk but I truly hope that the public enjoys the effort towards making

He added: “Recently another subdivision did this under their bridge and nothing was said. Help me understand this hypocrisy.”

People also appreciated the Assistant Commissioner for his efforts to improve the city.
Keep it up! You are doing good for the people. People will talk and you cant stop them. So, carry on whatever you are doing for the public at large.

All of what he’s doing is 5-10 minutes away especially the Naya Nazimabad Bridge and the road that goes to Shipowners as well. I’m really happy that someone responsible and determined is now in power. Well done @HazimBangwar, you have my utmost respect. https://t.co/X91tFZ5nVD
