Netizens demand ban on the Scrapfest festival

• Scrap Fest offers live music, food, family activities, and eco-art booth merchants.
• The event will be held in Pakistan’s Karachi this year.
• The government was encouraged by social media users to investigate and outlaw the Scrap Fest.

Originally a competition for scrap metal artwork, Scrap Fest has evolved into a whole art festival with a focus on upcycled and repurposed art. The festival also offers live music, food, family activities, and eco-art booth merchants. It can now be referred to as an LGBTQ festival with Canadian roots. The event will be held in Pakistan’s Karachi this year. Urvah Khan, a Pakistani singer of Canadian descent, is presenting the concert, which will include underground and trans acts. The event is currently being promoted.

The government was encouraged by social media users to investigate and outlaw this event. Strong action was demanded by the public to stop it. Look out the Tweets criticizing Scrapfest:

Maria B is a strong opponent in Pakistan and was the first to criticize this event. The general public is equally incensed and demands that drastic measures be taken against the Scrap Fest, which is here to trample on the identities of Muslims and followers of other religions. They advised raising our voices before it was too late. People claim that this festival is a threat to all religious teachings because no faith endorses it and that it is tragic to observe the constantly expanding LGBTQ community in Pakistan. It is alarming to see events like “ScrapFest” organized publicly in Karachi.

They claimed that the Muslim Ummah’s silence will make them liable to Allah. They exhorted the populace to speak out against it before the LGBTQ activities took off like wildfire.
