Maulana Ejaz Arshad Qasmi who slapped a woman on a live TV debate on Zee Hindustan on Tuesday was later arrested from the Zee Media’s office after a complaint by the media house. The Maulana, a regular on TV debates, assaulted Farah Faiz, an advocate fighting against Triple Talaq, on TV during a debate on Tuesday evening.
Things went out of hand when Ms Faiz argued that “talaq-e-bidat (triple talaq) is not a form of divorce recognised in the Quran.
Farah Faiz had said in the debate that triple talaq is not a form of divorce recognised in Quran. This triggered a war of words between her and Maulana Qasmi which resulted in the physical scuffle.
Watch the video here:
Soon the clip of the scuffle went viral on the social media with Twitterati condemning the Maulana for his behaviour.
Here are some of the reactions taken from Twitter:
A Maulana Amir Kasmi who is a member of AIMPLB hit a woman on a live TV debate. If he does ths on TV, imagine what these people would be doing behind closed doors. The Maulana even used abusive words for women on the panel...

Mufti Azaz Arshad Qasmi slaps Farah Faiz on live national TV. When the rainy insects crawl out of the gutter this is how they stink! Shame on you Maulanas and shame on Faheem Baig who said that the Maulana should not have slapped a woman ‘in front of everyone’. #MaulanaSlapsWoman

How many Intellectuals have condemned the Maulana attacking a lady on live television ?

Especially the #TalkToAMuslim brigade
Without justifying what that Maulana Kasmi did, isn’t this true that woman slapped him first ?

See, how this Maulana respects women. He slapped her, because he was not able to bear that, a lady is raising her voice in front of him.
