The ‘Mera Jism. Meri Marzi’ slogan has gained outrageous amounts of clout from both celebrities and viewers. It has started a conversation on what the slogan actually means, and everyone seems to have their own interpretation. And recently Ahmad Ali Butt has joined the crowd. Comedian, Host, Actor and former EP rapper and lyricist Ahmad Ali Butt thinks the slogan means promoting prostitution, organ donation, and making abortion legal. In an extensive instagram post:
And it’s fair to say that this is no where close to what ‘Mera Jism, Meri Marzi’ actually means. Because this is quite honestly absurd.
But what do other celebrities think of the slogan?
Well…
This is how one needs to come and explain a simple slogan on television. Thank you @NayabGJan #MeraJismMeriMarzi pic.twitter.com/uRyGK8HQVS

I’m in awe of the sheer power of 4 words strung together: #MeraJismMeriMarzi This slogan has destabilized centuries of patriarchy & triggered a man renown for his eloquence; unmasking a rabid, inarticulate, hate-spewing misogynist. Just 4 words. How frail our male egos can be.

Yes I will, because they are claiming autonomy over their bodies, zara research kar len ke is slogan ka matlab kya hai. Aap logon ka masla ye hai ke aap 'jism' ka lafz suntay hain aur sirf Bipasha Basu ya Sunny Leone ki film yaad aa jaati hai. https://t.co/G8sXE1qbxt

And we will end this article in the tweet that was the most articulate to what the slogan meant:
Beshak, mard aur aurat ka jism Allah ki amanat hai.
Lekin aurat ka jism kisi mard ke baap ki jageer bhi nahi hai.#farqsamjhen— Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi) March 5, 2020
