Another social media user shared: “Seeing tweets about students being expelled over an innocent display of affection. Have not seen anything inappropriate in the videos being shared. Seems like joy & love are banned in Pakistan. Hope the admin reconsiders this unnecessarily harsh action.”

Another came out saying, “Morals of youth have been depicted in the recent happening at UOL. This is what has been imparted to youth in academic institutions. @JamiatPK is indeed a blessing for the nation that discourages such acts and abstains youth from vulgarity.”

It seems like the proposal has gone the other way on the social media and #UOL is the most trending topic on Twitter at the moment of filing this news item. Such proposals are not acceptable within Pakistani society as many came out deeming this act as disgraceful.
