Valentine is a time of sharing love and care to those you
love but not everyone sees it in that way.
The Islamabad High Court has banned the celebration of
Valentine in all public places including government offices in Pakistan.
This ban was as a result of the petition written by one
Abdul Waheed who claimed that the celebration is against the teachings of
Islam.
The Federal Ministry of Information, Pakistan Electronic
Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) and the Islamabad High Commission have been
told by Justice Shaukat Aziz, who was hearing the case, to submit their replies
regarding the immediate execution of the court's orders.
Also, the Print and electronic media have been given an
order to halt all Valentine's Day promotions immediately with strict monitoring
of all mediums.
The petitions called for ban on the grounds that the widely
celebrated event encourages nudicty, indescency, immorality among others.
