A few days ago, a video of a couple present at the University of Lahore went viral. The girl bent down on her knee and proposed to the guy. She handed him a card and a rose to express her love. The guy, seemingly happy with the PDA, pulled her in for a hug in front of the crowd. We knew this would not sit well with the university authorities as rules and regulations at universities in Pakistan are often strict in terms of the interaction between men and women.

On social media, users applauded the girl for making the first move. Thousands of users left comments on the short video clip from the university.  A statement was later issued by the registrar of the varsity that stated that a special disciplinary committee sat down to discuss the matter and also summoned the students to the meeting in which they didn’t appear. The committee then decided that the only way to deal with the matter is to expel the students and ban them from the campuses.

Authorities made the decision, but social media uproared on the matter. Local celebrities and even politicians thought the move was disgusting. It does not just display conservative thought processes but also hypocrisy at its best since the Universities never take notice of harassment cases but instantly expelled the duo for a little PDA.

Politician Sharmila Faruqi sided with the Youth and said this was powerful and expressive

Even Chaudhry Fawad Hussain spoke on the matter. He said Islam allows women to express their preference when it comes to marriage

Pakistani musician Shehzad Roy also took it to the micro-blogging site and stated the hypocrisy of our society

According to Mira Sethi, this is a viral, toxic mess

Expel students who bully and harass others first, says popular host Anoushey Ashraf

Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari also commented on the matter. She said this was “Ridiculous.”

You can’t expel love, says Shaniera Akram

Yasir Hussain also commented on the unfair expulsion of the duo
