Islamabad:Pakistanmay ban all activities linked to the celebration of the Valentine's Day in the capital Islamabad.

The day's celebration on February 14 had often been criticised by Islamists as 'insult' to Islam.

An official of the interior ministry said that the decision to ban the Valentine's Day celebrations was taken at the orders of Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan. The ban has, however, not been announced officially.

It will be enforced through capital administration and formal notification will be issued by Islamabad deputy commissioner, the official said.

The Valentine's Day activities have often been disrupted in the past by the supporters of hardline Jamaat-e-Islami but it is for the first time that the state has intervened to ban the festivities of the day.

Hmari ni tou kisi ki bhi nii - Says Ch. Nisar

Appreciated that from Pakistan! Ban westernization...

Even if they ban it, I don't think anyone will care. It won't make a difference. Shops will have already decided if they want to sell Valentine themed items. They won't just not sell their already purchased items because some fat man in a suit said no.

Besides, it's not like people are going to start doing all these haram things in public. At home, maybe. But not in public that's for sure.

Hahaha.

I feel the pain for people who made some awesome plans. 'Chan Se jo tootay koi Sapna.'

Good decision though.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

Wese b Valentines Day Haram hai

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Forever alone...

Good Decision but worst that it happened under pressure by "Maulivees". I think we should always totally do opposite to what maulivees suggest. Ch. Nisar and likes always succumb to pressure from maulivees, or may be they are well aligned with maulivees thinking

 

[CriticalThinker02]

Yeah a very good decision

 

[Desert Fox]

Only Pakistanis with inferiority complex vis a vis the West ( Pakistani "liberals") want to celebrate this nonsense holiday. A proud Pakistani doesn't need to celebrate western celebrations.

However, good initiative by Ch. Nisar as we are cursed enough.
