In an anti-Valentine's Day effort, Faisalabad Agriculture University has decided to celebrate Sister's Day on February 14 and for that reason, has asked male students to gift burqas and scarves to their female fellows.
Vice chancellor Dr Zafar Iqbal said that it was his idea to celebrate February 14 as Sister's Day and that male students will give burqas and scarves to female one. He added that students have liked his idea, and together, they were determined to uphold the Islamic culture.
However, social media users believe that the university administration are trying to impose their own ideas on others.
