Dance Party At Malam Jabba Lands LUMS Students & Hotel Management In Hot Waters

Recently, a video of LUMS students’ dance party at a resort in Malam Jabba went viral on social media.

This got the authorities to take action against the hotel management and the students. Police has apparently lodged an FIR against LUMS students and has arrested the hotel owner for promoting ‘vulgarity’ and for failing to follow coronavirus SOPs.

The FIR stated,

Accused Fazal Khan Afridi and Husnain Ihsan provided lodging to a group of students on January 4.

They also provided loudspeakers to 30 to 40 guests who did not follow Covid-19 SOPs as well as engaged in the vulgar acts, footage of which, went viral on social media

According to reports the arrested hotel staff was released after they paid a fine of Rs. 40,000.

The news did not sit well with social media users. They condemned the action taken against the students and hotel management, commenting on how there was nothing obscene about the party. They also talked about how this could adversely affect the tourism in Pakistan.

This one advising Pakistanis to go to Dubai to have fun.

Be warned tourists – no fun allowed when touring Pakistan! We only welcome serious, dour, straitlaced tourists to come and spend money in the country! If you want fun (Dubai is 2 hours away – feel free to go there)https://t.co/PIEWeepPrc

This one here had some revelations to make.

Kind of divided over the FIR against those LUMs kids dancing in Malam Jabba.

On one hand it’s despotic to stop people from having harmless fun, on the other it’s quite evident that half the lot was on ecstasy.

However, there were some who sounded conflicted about this whole situation and deemed the dance party as staged.

So I've watched this video around 10 times but there's just something off about it??! I don't exactly know what is it but the vibe feels odd.. Idk if I make sense but yeah.. https://t.co/iJesFKFpcE

People dissecting the video like…

My husband said the same thing. He doesn't believe that people can dance freely and without care in a place like Malam Jabba. It's way too conservative for this. He felt it was forced. Now that a lot of people are raising questions, I have doubts springing.

And then there were some who were really happy to see how times have changed for SWAT!

Only a decade ago, Taliban had banned girls' education in Swat and had shot a little girl in the head for advocating female education. I am so glad times have changed. https://t.co/nGiQ54A6UE
