“We condemn dance and song in Masjid Wazir Khan in the strongest words. It is a matter of great regret that sanctity of mosque has been violated in this manner in Islamic Republic of Pakistan and so far neither those responsible for this have been arrested,”

“The BTS video that’s been circulated on social media was just a circular movement to click stills for the poster of ‘Qabool’ depicting a happily married couple right after their Nikah. Despite this if we have unknowingly hurt anyone’s sentiments. We apologise to you all with all our heart. Love & Peace,” she twitted. “This is also the only sequence that was shot at the historical Wazir Khan Mosque. It’s a prologue to the music video featuring a Nikah scene. It was neither shot with any sort of playback music nor has it been edited to the music track.”

    They said in a statement whether this country after offering thousands of sacrifices in the name of Islam was established so that dances and songs are performed in mosques. “Dance and song in mosques are open violation of the Shariat. Those responsible for this crime should be arrested forthwith, tried and given exemplary punishment so that in the future nobody dares to commit such condemn-able act,” they demanded in a statement issued here on Sunday.  PAK DESTINY
