Netizens disappointed as Shaan, Ali Zafar dance outside Wazir Khan Mosque

The Pakistani nation is extremely emotionally driven when problematization of religious sentiments in relation to the controversial views arrises.

Clashes between modernism and conservative classes of the state hinder the elasticity and accommodation to have tolerance.

This time around - actor Shaan Shahid and singer Ali Zafar are in hot waters as the two were spotted doing dhamaal (dance) on dhol beats during an event in Lahore outside Wazir Khan Mosque.

Hashtag #مسجد_وزیرخان have been trending on Twitter. The Internet is furious over the act where the celebrities danced outside the pious landmark alongside the Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry, who was spotted in the background.

People are calling it ‘desecration’ of the Wazir Khan Mosque as a scorching act. Enraged over the video that is making rounds on Twitter, Twitterati seems enraged as people’s anger and resentment pour in the form of comments and tweets.
