Now our “artists” also has realized

[quote post=”518″]Singer Shahida Mini used to celebrate Basant in a big way but not this year. She said she was disturbed by the news of killing of innocent people due to kite-flying string and called for holding Basant celebrations outside the City or in open places to avoid such incidents.
Actress Nadia Ali and Sheen, who used to host big Basant night party on the roof top of their beauty parlour, and Durdana Rehman, are not celebrating Basant.
Other film and TV stars have also disassociated themselves from Basant. â€œNo one wants negative publicity when there are images of kite-flying victims published in newspaper at the same time,â€

There is something terribly wrong in society when a celebration of spring and kites ends up in this needless loss of life, especially these terrible deaths of children. There is no reason that this should happen and maybe the most sad is the society’s attitude of acceptance of such loss. As is this loss is acceptable. It is amazing that the stupid question of whether Basant is Islamic or not will trigger massive debates and discussions, but this loss of life will not. A society that lets the death of little children go unmourned without comment and action is itself dead at its core!
