Jamat-e-Islami and its armed wing Shabab-e-Milli’s hatred against art and cultural events is very old they have always moved in a terrorize way to stop cultural and fun activities in the area.
One of its example is their warning to Karachiites for not celebrating new years night, and to stop people from doing this they declared an "armed 'Danda bardaar' force" which will stop people from doing such celebration activities, this statement of them was showed over television and also in the print media below is the link to the ‘Daily Express’ news of their warning.
After the warning of not celebrating New Year’s Eve they also gave another threatening warning for stopping theater shows in Lahore which they believe to be un-ethical and 'not allowed' according to their own theory and this time unlike the fortunate new year's night the warning was followed by a ringer,as after few days of their warning Lahore’s Drama Theaters were rocked by a series of Bomb Blasts.
"Six blasts rock Lahore theaters: The first four blasts happened outside the Al-Fallah theater in the heart of the heavily populated city on Friday. The fifth and sixth blasts occurred at Mazang Chungee near Tamaseel Theatre two hours after the four blasts outside the Al-Fallah theater hall."
