Pakistan has made it clear to their indigens that there won't be valentine celebration in public,as a
Pakistani court ruled against the celebration in public places across
the country.
Speaking to newsmen after the ruling,
the Petitioner, Abdul Waheed further disclosed that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) also ordered local media not to publicise anything related to the day, which Majid Bhatti, a lawyer at the IHC confirmed.
The ban, which has sparked controversy, came after President Mamnoon Hussain, asked citizens of the country not to celebrate because it was not a Muslim festival, but a Western tradition.
“Valentine’s Day has no connection with our culture and it should be avoided’’ he said.
