مطلقہ حکام (چیف سیکرٹری صاحب) کو پروڈکشن ٹیم اور محکمہ اوکاف کہ خلاف کاروائی کرنی چائیے۔ ان پر مقدمہ ہونا چاہیے تاکہ انہیں سزا ہو https://t.co/8i9wKzLbS1

اور یہ محترمہ @s_qamarzaman فرما رہی ہیں کہ صرف نکاح کا سین شوٹ کیا تھا۔ فنکار اور ادیب معاشرے میں اخلاقیات کو پروان چڑھاتے ہیں۔وہ اخلاقی اقدار کے باغبان ہوتے ہیں۔ہمارے تو چند فنکاربھی دیدہ دلیری سے جھوٹ بولتے ہے۔مسجد کی بے توقیری کسی صورت قبول نہیں۔ https://t.co/QgD9BQfROs

Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan had also condemned actress Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed music video inside the historical Wazir Khan mosque.
“Using the mosque for dancing and singing is a sign of doomsday”, he tweeted. “Is there any limit left for degradation and misguidance to rebel against Allah in the house of Allah?”, he questioned. He prayed to Allah Almighty to have mercy on us.
مسجد اللہ کا گھر ہے اور عبادت کیلئے ہے نہ کہ ناچ گانے کیلئے۔
اگر یہ قیامت کی نشانی نہیں تو اور کیا ہے ؟
کیا پستی اور گمراہی کی اور کوئ حد رہ گئ ہے کہ اللہ کے گھر میں ہی اللہ سے بغاوت پہ اُتر آئے۔
اللہ ہم پہ رحم فرما !— Ali Muhammad Khan (@Ali_MuhammadPTI) August 8, 2020
