Court orders change in lyrics
From Reuters
Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered a pop singer to change his lyrics after a college girl complained that male students teased her by singing the song when she passed by.
The court summoned the singer, Abrar-ul-Haq, last week after a girl named Parveen wrote to a newspaper saying she had stopped attending college in the city of Lahore because of the harassment.
“The court has asked Abrar-ul-Haq to omit the name of the girl and some other objectionable words in his lyrics,” a court official said. Haq said he would abide by the court decision.
