Concerned Citizens of Pakistan (CCP) has criticised a resolution passed by the Punjab Assembly prohibiting the holding of musical concerts in girls’ educational institutions. A press release said the resolution is based on a non sequitor. The tragedy at Arts Council occurred due to mismanagement at the auditorium, not due to the holding of the concert. The remedy lies in improving the management at such public places, not in banning innocent entertainment for female student, it said. The statement said it is a sad reflection on the state of mind of legislators who fail to distinguish between ineptitude and art. They need to be educated in social responsibility by their respective parties when they are awarded party tickets for contesting elections.
