According to her tweet, Bakhtawar stated that not anyone could keep from eating or drinking during the month of Ramazan out of dehydration and heat stroke. Hence, she termed this as a ‘ridiculous law’.

According to the law, people who will eat or smoke openly during the month of Ramazan will be fined Rs 500 and a 3-month imprisonment. TV channels or cinema houses will be fined a sum of Rs 500,000 or more if they violate the law.

The law is ridiculous, people already have the common sense and courtesy to not eat in front of those fasting. But that does nothing to let those that need to eat for whatever reason be stopped.

Pakistan is going to hell
