Realising
that lassi can hamper the Friday protest call, the city district government of
Lahore along with police and political activists have started a crackdown on
milk shops to disrupt the supply of yoghurt and lassi on Friday. It is very
much pertinent to mention here that the government has given a call to the
public to remain outdoors every Friday from 12pm to 12:30pm so that Kashmir
cause be given a step forward.
“We have
purposed to the government to impose section 144 under which drinking lassi on every
Friday is banned and the violators will have to stay outdoor every Friday and
Saturday,” said a government spokesperson on the condition of anonymity. When
asked the reason for not disclosing their name, the spokesperson that the
special assistant to the prime minister on information had wished to announce
every important decision of the government in her press conference on PTV.
The source said that most of the people drank lassi on Friday and
drowse in post-breakfast hours.
Reacting to the development, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and
PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto have declared Fridays as Lassi day. Both have
appealed to their followers to drink lassi and distribute lassi to the public.
On
twitter, #NoTo Lassi and #LassiLassi were the top trends.
