Fashion parades must end, Pakistani PM orders
AFP, Islamabad
The Pakistan prime minister Mr Zafarullah Jamali has ordered authorities to
crack down on fashion shows because they are un-Islamic and give Pakistan a
bad image, a local newspaper reported. An interior ministry order dated October
25 was carried by the news daily, directing hotels and officials to put an end
to the gala parades that are a regular event at city hotels.
“It has been observed that different functions are organised under the
garb of fashion shows at leading hotels of the provinces and federal capital,
which militate against our national culture and Islamic values,” the order
said.
“Such activities are not reflective either of our culture or heritage and
subsequently paint the government in bad light. The prime minister has taken
serious notice of such undesirable activities and has directed that the administration
and hotel managements be issue strict instructions to avoid recurrence of such
programs, which are not in consonance with Islamic values and norms of decency,”
the report stated. |
