... The directive for avoiding misuse of loudspeaker was issued after a meeting chaired by President General Pervez Musharraf on Thursday. The president had directed the authorities concerned to take strict measures against people misusing loudspeakers, publishing hate literature and fanning sectarianism.
Talking to Daily Times, Ghazi Abdur Rashid, vice principal of Jamia Fareedia, said that he and most ulema of Islamabad had refused to receive this letter and to act on the direction of the government about the use of loudspeakers.
Rashid said the government never took any action against those who had been misusing speakers installed in their vehicles. “The police and other law-enforcement agencies never apprehend those people who have car stereos and listen to music at full volume,” he complained. He said that people also played loud music at wedding ceremonies till late at night, which was also against this act, but the police never apprehended such people. |
