Pakistan Bans Holi Celebrations In Universities

Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission on Tuesday issued a notice banning the celebration of Holi in any of the university campuses across the country. The commission mentioned students are forbidden to follow this festival in order to adhere “sociocultural values.” Such activities portray a complete disconnect from country’s sociocultural values and are an erosion of the country’s Islamic identity, read the statement.
