That is how it starts, under the guise of national interest. The arrests for not standing in national anthems, a combination of fascist ideals and religious bigotry. Rest in peace Mahatma, your nation is going very astray very fast.
@Areesh Please do report if any Indian tried to drag in Pakistan or uses religious insults
The ban would make sense if it had been for some technical reason. There is a requirement within the PAF to have shaved beards which is followed by most officers. It has to do with the oxygen mask not fitting securely over beards. Still, some insist on being able to cope with it and they are allowed to do so after all safety checks are made.
None of this is under the guise of "national interest".
