Court Slam Life Ban On Valentine's Celebration Publicly
Islamabad High Court (IHC) slam ban on public performance of Valentine's Day in the country on Tuesday.
The Pakistani court on Monday, issued a ruling against observing Valentine’s Day across the country.
Barrister Abdul Waheed told newsmen that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ordered the media not to publicise anything concerning the lover's day.
Majid Bhatti, a legal practitioner at the IHC, confirmed this that the court law conceal the entire country.
Report says Valentine’s Day draws mixed responses from people every year with many voicing objections, citing religious teachings.
In 2017, President Mamnoon Hussain had urged people not to observe Valentine’s Day because it was not a Muslim, but a Western tradition.
“Valentine’s Day has no connection with our culture and it should be avoided,’’ the president had said.
Waheed said had asked the court to issue orders against the promotion of Valentine’s Day because he believed print and electronic media had been presenting the day as if it was part of local culture
