LAHORE – Punjab Government on Saturday denied giving a go ahead to celebrate the Basant festival in certain parts of the city in February 2017. Reports about the approval of the Basant in Punjab has been reported on different news channels, leading many religious personalities, including Mufti Muneeb ur Rahman, to criticise the decision. However, the Punjab Government later denied the news and said that If any such step was taken, that would have announced officially. “Some news channels are reporting approval of Basant by Govt of Punjab, which is NOT CORRECT. V will announce it here if such a step is taken,” the official Twitter page tweeted. https://twitter.com/GovtOfPunjab/status/805723175107620866
