Hamza Ali Abbasi's condolence message on Kulsoom Nawaz's death is really, really off

He knew it was wrong as he said "I'm sorry for sounding insensitive at a time of grief..." but even that didn't stop him

Many took to social media yesterday to mourn the death of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz, wife of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who passed away in London after a months-long battle with cancer.

One of those people was Hamza Ali Abbasi...except not really.

He clubbed his condolence message with a plea to not let her death create sympathy for her jailed family members, all in the same breath:

He didn't just stop there; he tweeted some more, even acknowledging that this was not an appropriate time to say all of this: "I'm sorry for sounding insensitive at a time of grief..."

While PTI leaders seemed to demonstrate an understanding that someone's passing is not a time to do politicking, Hamza clearly missed that memo. Thankfully, many on Twitter wasted no time in reminding him of the same:

incorrigible to say the least. Almost all key leaders of PTI and their affiliates at one time or the other dehumanized the illness, made jokes and whenever possible tried to score political point against PML N, Nawaz Sharif and his sons throughout last 1 year of her illness. It would be callous and below the dignity of an ordinary human being for me not to salute PML N leaders specially Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif Hasan Nawaz, Hussein Nawaz, Maryam Nawaz and Mrs Kulsoom Nawaz herself and their entire extended family that they never responded let alone came on hard on all those critics who should be ashamed, ashamed and ashamed of their obsession with insensitivity and ill will. Last night I saw some of the comments for the first time, made by politicians, media anchors, expert commentators and was literally shattered to see how low we can get in our desire to follow a certain political ideology.

People like Hamza Ali Abbasi give us hope that even intellectually challenged people can gain fame and fortune.
