‘Lazawal Ishq’ Is Pakistan’s ‘Love Island’?
Lazawal Ishq isn’t bold or progressive, it’s a cultural embarrassment.
A cheap copy of Love Island, mistaking vulgarity for confidence and imitation for innovation.
It doesn’t make us modern, it makes us lost.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong or ‘immoral’ about Lazawaal Ishq. It’s a Youtube program & we can trust Pakistani adult viewers to decide for themselves whether they want to watch it or not. The Mullahs & State MUST NOT patronize us. Let us make our own choices pic.twitter.com/JanCg6CaYc
