Netizens angry after Lahore university allegedly expels students for public proposal

A university in Lahore has allegedly expelled two students for a public proposal followed by a hug, according to a notification circulating on social media.

As per details, the notification dated March 12 states that the two students, who can be seen in the video, “were involved in gross misconduct and violation of university rules and were called to appear before the special disciplinary committee [but] failed to appear.”

The notification further said that both students are “debarred from entering premises of University of Lahore and all its sub-campuses.”

Soon after the notification went viral social media, students and other users stepped in to defend the couple and trolled the university over the decision.

People are mad because 2 young adults had the courage to not give a damn about this hypocritical society where we top the google list for searching all sorts of perverted sexual fantasies, where harassers are celebrated & pedophiles are protected. May their true love shine bright https://t.co/4QGnbX7CEQ

Most folks applauding the expulsion after the #lahoreuniversity proposal wouldn’t think twice about giving salami to a 17yr old shellshocked bride on stage.

When young folks show agency: samaji masla

When parents make choices without their child’s clear consent: family matter

ایک طرف سنت سنت کرتے نہیں تھکتے مگر جب کوئ لڑکی واقعی خدیجہ کی سنت پہ عمل کرے تو سب کو اسلامک ریپبلک یاد آ جاتا ھے۔ بس خواتین کو کسی حال میں سانس نہ لینے دیں۔

Horrific sexual harassment incidents occurred at universities. Mashal Khan was murdered on campus. Students were abducted from campuses. Teachers were fired for teaching critical thinking.

None of it was punished. But a couple expressing affection was expelled. #Priorities

Why university of Lahore is taking disciplinary action against this couple. There is nothing wrong in proposing someone for marriage. https://t.co/fWQXSyy8Yn

University of Lahore expelled two students for proposing and hugging in campus. This is ridiculous a country who loves to watch the romantic movies/tv shows doesn’t believe in love.

The Current made multiple attempts to contact the university administration but were unable to get through.
