Islam In Danger? Pak Bans Hindu Festival Holi In Universities To 'Preserve Islamic Identity'

Pakistan has banned the celebration of Hindu festival of Holi across educational institutes in the country. Pakistan's Higher Education Commission issued a notice saying the decision was taken to prevent 'erosion of the Islamic identity'. The diktat came after a purported video from Islamabad's Quaid-I-Azam university, where hundreds of students were celebrating Holi and dancing, went viral on social media. The order has reignited the debate regarding discrimination against minorities in Pakistan.
