Islamabad’s only cinema sealed for screening movies at ‘Iftar time’
108
ISLAMABAD: The district administration on Saturday sealed Cineplex, the only cinema in the federal capital located at Centaurus Mall, and arrested five of its employees for screening movies at ‘Iftar time’.
The administration closed the cinema for an indefinite period under the Ehteram-i-Ramazan Ordinance, which prohibits screening of movies during Iftar and Taraveeh.
The fun-starved people of the federal capital expressed their fear that they would be deprived of entertainment during Eid days as Islamabad has no other cinema.
“Following a complaint by a citizen, we raided the Centaurus shopping mall and sealed Cineplex for showing film during Ramazan,” said Abdul Sattar Esani, additional deputy commissioner general.
Sources said during the raid fear and panic gripped the people visiting the Mall for Eid shopping.
It is relevant to note here that it was only entertaining place for around two million citizens of the federal capital.
“At the moment, I can’t say when the cinema will be reopened. Besides fine, the cinema could be sealed for a maximum of six months under the ordinance,” Mr Esani said and added that cases against the arrested employees of the cinema would be registered under the ordinance.
Islamabad used to have three cinemas: Nafdec, Melody and Sitara Market, which were closed due to various reasons, including riots, in which the Melody Cinema was burnt.
“Being a citizen, I have serious concerns about the closure of the cinema. I will request the authorities concerned to open the cinema for Eid, as in the federal capital we have no alternative source of entertainment,” said Mohammad Ishtiaq, a frequent customer to the Centaurus Shopping Mall.
Despite repeated attempts, the Cineplex administration could not be approached for comments.

Whats the idea behind it? If you close the cinema, people would not watch any movie, and then these people would go to heaven. Is that the idea? Sorry, if I am wrong. Let me try again . . . Watching cinema is a bad thing, probably a sin. It should be discouraged at least during the holy month of Ramadan. Is that right? But then I have a question, if watching cinema is a sin, it should be stopped all together. If it can harm anyone during Ramadan,. it will harm in any other month. too. Oh My God, maybe I am wrong again. Let me have a final go. Cinemas should be closed down in Ramadan in respect of Ramadan. (Ramzan ke Ehtram me) Sorry, but I do have a question there also. Shall we ever stop indulging in corruption, charging three times of the price, telling lies, accepting and offering bribes, living in filthy places without any sense of cleaning them.... in the
EHTRAM OF RAMADAN?

Why now hesitancy on imposing our own constitution-if you are a muslim you have to follow the tenets and teachings of Islam; so folks it's explicitly mentioned in scripture that offer your prayer with punctuality. And following scripture "Quran pak" and sayings of prophet makes us muslim.
There is authentic hadees : nimaz "prayer" is the dividing line between muslim and non-muslims. So we can't ignore it or just avoid it out of entertainment.
But then there are two types of muslim
1. Practising muslim
2.Nominal muslim
Plz, I request you don't call me a radical, conservative, fanatic or narrow minded person.

The only place for entertainment in the whole capital?? C'mon movies aren't the only source of entertainment and people should meet their friends and family for Eid not watch a movie. I think you can watch movie other days as well. And as far as cinemas are concerned the people of Islamabad can go to the same cinemas where they used to before centaurus cineplex was opened.
There is a law, it was broken and the culprits had to pay the price period. This is just Dawn news trying to stir controversy.

The logic which I understand ....No entertainment during Iftar and Taraveeh time. Well doing window/actual shopping, eating buffet Iftar dinners also come under entertainment ... so, simply close the shopping centers (Taliban would do that). One should Iftar with a very simple menu ... so, close the restaurants serving lavish food ... starting from serena and marriot ... And those people should also be penalized who entertain their guests with lavish food ... They should be forced or charged extra tax in the name of IDPs help .... what a country! Entertainment is banned! Laws/ordinances made by Parliamentarians who are themselves on vacations/sabbaticals around the world!

If someone is watching a movie at Iftar that is his personal problem, he is answerable to Allah if it is indeed a sin. Authorities are not responsible for his duties as a Muslim. It is clearly between him and Allah. the government is responsible to ensure that his behavior does not disrupt or violate the civil laws. This is overreaching and waste of time and money.

Reading all the comments, I see all the hue and cry, but it is a fair ruling. The administration of the place should have known that it is a very holy month and yes they have employees to pay, so shutting it down completely for the entire month is a stupid thought, but at least respect the iftaar time. There's no harm in that, they could take a iftaar break. Some sort of snack break for the people who are there, perhaps a chance for them to stock up on supplies for the latter half of the movie.
Its all a balancing act, you shouldn't bargain for your fundamental rights, like earning a living, but you can't have everything going your way either. And this wont be Talibanisation of the country.

Well screening a movie during ramazan is also against law and you should not have an issue when DC acted according to law. The law should be equal for all and if you are so much worrying for non-muslims in pakistan you should also feel some pain when an indian MP made a muslim caterer eat forcefully during ramazan in last week.

Look at the Muslim majority countries following the will. And what is their condition, daily killing of innocent people in hundreds. Easy to preach.

@khan How do you know Allah is not happy with you? Maybe he is not happy with just you, what about others? Is he happy with the people fighting in Gaza? Or is he unhappy?
Has He told you that he is unhappy? Just a mulla saying Allah is unhappy is his opinion.

@usman786 typical of the new conservative mindset, please leave Veena Malik out of this. She has more balls than most men of this land.

@Sohail Democracy is for non-muslims only. Muslims are for sharia. End of story.

@wahab
While you are very polite in your response, you actually don't make any sense. Islam is a religion that is interpreted by people to promote their own agenda. Almighty Allah has given us common sense to decide what is right or wrong. If you, as a Muslim, chooses to not go and watch a movie, then that is your right. However, it is not your right to tell me what I should or should not do. If we all just mind our own business and not be hypocrites, our country can be a lot more prosperous.
