Religious speaker Allama Nasir Madni has criticised social media personalities and their fans over TikTok videos, wedding dances and online popularity.
His remarks have started a discussion on social media about the behaviour of public figures and the people who follow them.
What did Nasir Madni say about Mr Pattlo?
In his statement, Nasir Madni also spoke about the cancellation of the Mr Pattlo programme.
He said that Mr Pattlo claimed that educated people and those with master’s degrees stood in queues to meet him.
Madni questioned why people were so eager to meet him and sarcastically asked if he considered himself the Imam of the Kaaba.
What did Nasir Madni say about TikTok videos?
Madni also criticised the making of TikTok videos and dance content by women.
He questioned whether people supported certain social media personalities because they ‘involved their daughters and sisters in making TikTok videos and earning money through dance videos instead of continuing their education’.
He used strong words to question the choices of their fans. He also urged people to think about why they admired such personalities and whether their actions matched their own values.
Madni further raised concerns about the lifestyle of social media figures and their influence on the public.
His comments also touched on wedding dances and the role of religious figures in society.
