'LouJee' is a social awareness campaign being run at Lahore School of Economics to stop people from spending enormous amount of money at weddings. #badlozamana
Mr. Akhtar, we would like to appreciate the effort you have made. We also believe it is a great contribution to the cause. Only proper lawmaking can resolve this issue for once & all.

. @AbidSherAli adds to our support, says he himself has seen a wedding where helicopters were used to move the barat. He advises the society to abandon wedding extravaganza. #badlozamana
A modern wedding costs somewhere b/w 3 to 4 Million PKR. Now think of better ways where the same amount could be used, for example, buying a new car, investing, savings for emergency, helping the poor and much more. Think wisely before planning your wedding.

Leader of the opposition @CMShehbaz supports 'lou gee'. Says people should not go for big fat weddings, insists on adopting simple lifestyle.
@CMShehbaz says no to wedding extravaganza, do you?

شادی جیسی مُقدس تقریب کو اس مُعاشرے نے بےحد مُشکل بنا دِیا ہے.جس کی وجہ سے مُتواسط طبقہ اور کم وسیلہ لوگ پر جتنا بوجھ پڑا ہےہے اُس نے ہماری سماجی زندگی کو درہم برہم کر دِیا ہے.مُجیب الرحمٰن شامی "LouJee" کی سپورٹ میں اپنا نظریہ پیش کرتے ہوئے. #badlozamana
🙏🙏Thanks for these kind words!! Purpose was not to show off. Just shared it in a good faith and be a part of this generous campaign❤️❤️. May ALLAH guide us to be on righteous path.
@LouJee5 I hv set this exmpl by practicing it by myself. #No Dowery #No Barat #No Mehndi #No Hala gulla!! Just give a reception to the necessary guests and simple Nikkah with minimal jewellery!! Performed UMRAH instead of honeymoon tour to Europe!!! #Zero burden on girl’family.

time to change the trend #badlozamana#badlopakistan
Great initiative. Pakistan is one of those countries where most lavish spending is done on weddings."Dowry" is another social ill which we need to get rid of. We need to spend less on weddings and more on the deserving. Excessive display of wealth to be discouraged.

Ali Moeen Nawazish agrees that money can be used in better ways rather than just spending it on countless wedding functions. Let us know in what better ways can the same money be used?
