It is amusing to learn about the embarrassing situation at the speech delivery occasion of Dr Zakir Naik. Should it be taken with a pinch of salt, depicting the economy of Pakistan and the shortage of quality food for the ordinary people? Islam teaches discipline and control. However, Muslims of the subcontinent do the opposite of the Islamic teachings. It is really disgraceful to the government and the right thinking people of Pakistan who earned embarrassment for the unruly acts of their people instead of honour.
The mistake lies on the part of the organisers. They should have served the food only after the event has ended and avoided criticism of the attendees. The attendees might have come from long distances and wanted to leave early or might have been sitting for a long time and felt hungry. It is a natural human tendency not a big issue. Organisers better take a lesson from it.
WOW, that’s embarrassing for pakistanis as well.
