Pakistan's Higher Education Commission (HEC) on Tuesday reportedly banned the celebrations of Holi and other Hindu festivals across educational universities in the country. The move comes days after a video of students celebrating Holi on the campus of a university in Islamabad surfaced on social media. In its notice, the HEC has advised students to adhere to their "sociocultural values."
