Re: Permanent ban in case of more deaths: CM: Kite-flying
Yousuf Salahudin the infamous party dude grandson of Allama Iqbal who celebrates Basant with the cream of Pakistani society each year at his old city haveli in Lahore was also invited to speak with Kamran Khan on the issue via phone on Geo. Apparently he was going to obey the restriction and not celebrate. I wonder...
He was critical of the govt and said banning is not the solution...I wonder what is...? an obvious response coming from many ppl is that it should be celebrated in open fields outside the city, it'll also bring a nice rural touch. But what to say of tradition and contingent interests...as Fakhr-e-Alam's popular song goes "ankh wi larrani aye te guddi we urrani aye", so getting on top of roofs and for various other purposes, is smthng that even death is unable to keep people away from.
And I think people remember they had celebrated Eids with 'saadgi' due to the earthquake...
