A tiny Tik Tok video from their Pink Day was tweeted by a fake account made on the name of a renowned journalist, Irshad Bhatti. The tweet mockingly called out the entire institution, whereas the video just showed a couple of students dancing and having fun with their fellow batch mates.

Surprisingly, a lot of people actually chimed in to mock LUMS and the students, and called them out for dancing in the month of Ramazan
For those who don’t realize, this video is at least a month old, if not older.
I would never appreciate or support what happend at pink Day at #LUMS
During Holy Month of Ramdan!It is just a shameful act by some cheap so called upper class!
If upper class have such type of Generation! I think I am blessed to be born in Middle class ALHAMDULLILIALLAH

I wouldn’t say that this is wrong but I think this shouldn’t have happened in the holy month of Ramadan. They should’ve respected that. #LUMS

And then there were those who questioned the entire system of co-education…
Not only #LUMS, these kind of events held at other Universities as well.. Its all about co-education, when you provide such environment where the girls & boys openly talk then you can expect anything from them.

But then a lot of people tried to shed light on how there are way more important issues which need to be addressed than a couple of students dancing in the safety and privacy of their own university
Ramzan main rape hote hain, murder hote hain, children are kidnapped and sold into prostitution uski kisi ko fiqr nahi hai but god forbid a few people danced in #LUMS we truly are a lost nation

“The country is literally burning, and some are worried about a few kids having a bit of harmless fun.”
The video of #LUMS students dancing, which has started trending on social media is a typical example of what we call moral panic. The country is literally burning, and some fools are worried about a few kids having a bit of harmless fun.

People thought it was alarming so see where the priorities of the population lie i.e. in outraging over consenting adults having fun in the privacy of their university as opposed to actual issues
This week in Pakistan:
-Multiple cases of child r*pe
-Circular debt rises to 795 billion
-Media censored
-Peaceful protestors shot at
-Parliamentarian taken into custody
-Modi reelected in IndiaTop trend on Twitter:
-Kids dancing in #LUMS is destroying Pakistan#Priorities

Many pointed out how this might actually raise concerns over the invasion of privacy of these students, and rightly so
why is no one talking about how problematic this invasion of privacy is…? more so from the person in LUMS who posted this video on a public platform w/o consent of those whose faces can clearly be seen in the video #lums https://t.co/mgS4iKIkfy

There were quite a few who pointed out that the account that claimed to be of famous journalist Irshad Bhatti is actually a fake account
