LAHORE: A dance party was brought to a grinding halt on the call of a religious cleric over the weekend, reports emerging from the city on Wednesday said.

Sunni Tehrik Lahore President Maulana Mujahid Abdul Rasool threatened police to either stop a party at Sozo Water Park immediately or “face the music”, officials confirmed.

Subsequently, the police and district administration ordered organisers to pack up and leave the venue right away, despite the fact that organisers obtained the approval of the deputy commissioner. Talking to The Express Tribune, Lahore Sunni Tehrik President Molana Mujahid Abdul Rasool said, “I will not let any such party take place; at least in Lahore.”

Bata Pur SHO said that over 2,000 people were attending the party, but it had to be stopped after a recorded message of the cleric started circulating among senior police officials.

How if a citizen call police to stop a mulla barking on Hate speech in a gathering or Feel the Music? Does it work as well?
I'm not siding with these party animals umm just taking about the difference between a mulla force and a normal citizen aka liberal or secular moderate whatever mulla bergade call them.

What is the problem when they have the approval from concerned authorities in place ? They were not breaking any law. Shameful utterly shameful that the administration is working according to illiterate mullahs and not according to the law of the land.

The Pic used shows modern youth and it is hard to figure out whether they are Pakistanis or Westerners.

I really wonder if they knew that what they were doing was anti Islamic according to Mulla Ji

It would surely be a great dilemma for this group as whom to follow : Mulla Ji or Music

Some Pakistanis (well a lot) live a dual life, certain liberties for themselves yet they want to confine others in strict religious code.

I yearn for such a generation to come, one which can differentiate between Religion and the State. But the question is how? How can you rip off what has become a fabric of our society, these radical so-called "mullahs" are worshipped by the weak minded, just like politicians are worshipped by their supporters, look at a person defending a politician who is looting and plundering this nation, they will still have staunch support from people who are ironically victims of his/her cruelty. Look at the entire history of this nation, how do plan to remove these "mullahs" when you cannot remove these polticians?.

looks like a typical 'Goli' party ...

People should have such parties in private premises. Sozo Park is a public place.

Is it owned by the federal or Punjab government? As far as I know it is a private venture, which as a consequence makes it private property.

we all know what happens at these parties. Even after approval which law legalizes drugs and alcohol open use
