Valentine’s Day– dooms day for terrorists or a tool to proliferate debauchery?
People demonstrated a mixed reaction on the eve of Valentine’s Day in the federal capital as a line of division was witnessed deepening among the liberal and religious circles.
The youths put their weight on the side of celebrating this day amid rivalries and tone of whims and caprices advocating that the day is a message of love and this message is the need of hour in the evolving situation when terrorists are targeting the innocent students of schools, places of worship, mosques and principal state buildings.
“We will have to celebrate the festivals like this day to give the message to the world we are opposed to terrorisms and want to live a peaceful life to carve our niche in the comity of nations as peace loving nation,” said a battalion of youths rejoicing the day with faces sprouting springs of delight and rejuvenated spirit of attesting the inner pleasure and detesting the malicious designs of anti-state elements engaged in unleashing pools of blood and death in the country.
In a survey of the federal capital, people from all walks of life were seen rejoicing the occasion, thronging into crowded markets, heavily breathing parks, wide opened hotels and eye catching plazas swarmed by arrays of men, women, girls, boys clad in rainbow coloured ensembles, a conflux and clash of eastern and western civilization. A row of prowling girls was seen wearing jeans and skin tight revealing ensembles howling and hurling care free words of some alien planet of the world.
Things went diverse when our correspondent was overtaken by a US national Pakistani origin Sajida Perveen who in a mild but confidence oozing tone remonstrated, “We are Muslims and our religion does not allow to propagate indecency and immodesty. These are sordid customs of dying Western culture which we are embracing and drowning in howls and shouts brazen facedly.”
Perveen said commenting on the howling and cheering crowd that Valentine day gives negative vibes which can lead to proliferate indecency in our society which is already drifting to the whirl pool of destruction and devastation.
Maria Sultan, 42, said, “Wearing anguish looks that celebrating western custom in Islamic society bears testimony that what unbridgeable gap exist in our words and actions. This day will lead our nation to unrestrained freedom to which western culture is all poised to tempt us to snatch our identity as a Muslim nation.”
“But we are not ambassadors of vulgarity or indecency, we want to send the message to world nations that we are ambassadors of peace and love and not breeding grounds of extremism and terrorism by celebrating this day,” said a group of youths looking deep into our eyes.
