It is so sad to see that even 'love' becomes controversial in Pakistan. Why is that so? What is wrong in setting aside one day in the whole year where you can stop and talk to your special one in more romantic than usual ways and celebrate each other's company by exchanging chocolates or roses? This just re-affirms the bond. There is also economic activity generated. In Pakistan's context this does not mean that people are having sex on public park benches or are bathing naked on Karachi's beaches. Such things don't happen even the so-called 'Madr Pidr Azad' countries.
But the religious conservative is basically a demented person with a dirty mind and a small prick. Having been suckered into a life of suffocation, by fate or by choice, he is the proverbial 40-year old virgin--a jealous one at that. So he sees a husband buying a rose for his wife and this bearded stone-age relic plays his jealousy in the guise of religion.
