Here are his exact words:

“Whatever is happening between me and Sohail Ahmed is the matter between the two brothers, and we might be indulged in such quarrels in future too, but that would purely be our personal matter, and no one is allowed to troll anyone in this. Also, trolling someone like Sohail Ahmed is totally unacceptable. Don’t you know what kind of actor he is? Whoever is trolling Sohail Ahmed is trolling Qavi Khan! These people have served Pakistan with their amazing craft for decades. They deserve to be celebrated.”.

He further expressed his disappointment with the use of offensive language and disrespectful behavior in expressing opinions, deeming it unacceptable, and also called out YouTubers who had gone too far in their remarks. He acknowledged his role in sparking the debate with his initial response.
