It is not as if we do not have enough real problems in Pakistan to worry about. Why, then, do we keep inventing imaginary fights to worry about? Here are some Valentine’s Day pictures from Pakistan.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

As muslims, we should not blindly follow other cultures. How can it help Pakistan make progress? The valentines day and many other events like Basant and Holloween have nothing to do with progress.
Keeping the tradition of binding two cities in the bandhan of Twin cities to promote love and tourism, Shev sena and Jamat-e-Islami today announced themselves as twin organizations. Both will promote inter parties conferences of how to promote u know what. In the everlasting spirit of friendship, Munawwar hasan will head the anti valentine protest next year in Mumbai and Bal Thackaray will do the same in Karachi.
Fazlur rehman strongly objected to shive sena choice of choosing jamaat. however it is being said that he is in close contacts with RSS.

Those who are supporting this so called love and peace day as per wiki pedia
“Saint Valentine’s Day (commonly shortened to Valentine’s Day) is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companionsThe holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496. ”
How come this relates to our culture or society. How many of us are ready to allow our family teen ager in this activity of love and peace ???? As said this love expression can be between family memebers I have never seen celebrating any one in this spirit.
Hi !
Those who are supporting this event and saying this is about love and peace and advocating it can tell who was “valentine” ? what is the history behind this so called happy ceremony and how it is relate to us as pakistaniat ? if it is so worthy of enjoying why it was not celebrated 20 years ago. who want to allow to participate their family teenagers in this memorable event ?
Live and let live!
God bless Pakistan
