یہ ادارہ LUMS پورے پاکستان سے کوئی الگ ہی نسل پیدا کر رہا ہے ۔۔

Yes it's absolutely wrong. LUMS, NCA, Beaconhouse & all such institutes are not promoting good education but just inculcating wrong & Haram things in mind. Also promoting vulgarity, arrogance, disrespect for elders, poor ppl & zero ethics + lack of moral, social values! 🙂💔<<< pic.twitter.com/Fvlmz34VfC

These kids only celebrated Bollywood Day, I loved the fun they had. What’s wrong in it? Let them live a few happy years of their lives before they are trapped in mundane situations of of practical life when in jobs. #LUMS pic.twitter.com/VkuomvlDnR

Pakistanis are getting triggered by this video from LUMS because as a nation we are ANTI FUN. Being happy is prohibited. The violence of Ertugral is more suited to our sorry taste. pic.twitter.com/f0NxDHd0eS

A nation obsessed over Bollywood movies for decades, where every wedding predominantly features Bollywood songs is suddenly outraged over LUMS celebrating Bollywood day. 🤦♂️

Idk why people are getting furious at this "bollywood day" in LUMS. Being a 90's kid, I enjoyed bollywood for a major chunk of my life while Syed Noor Pakistan was busy making Saima and Shan dance wierdly in crops, so I'm not sorry if we relate more to bollywood characters.
