‘Return award to LSA with dignity instead of putting on road,’ Ahmed Ali Butt

After the nominations for the 18th LSA 2019 were announced, many celebrities announced to give up their nominations. Expressing his displeasure over this protest by some celebrities, Ahmed Ali Butt said treating an award like a piece of garbage is truly sad and uncivilized.

Taking it to Instagram he wrote:

An award has no worth for anyone except to whom it is given to. It’s a token of appreciation from your fellow peers, all the nominees who are elected with you hold that same respect and honor for their craft, yet you are the winner which means they have given you that respect and honor. People have the right to protest and even request not to be nominated if they please to do so, but to degrade an award and to treat it like a piece of garbage is truly sad and uncivilized. This means you have no regard for the art and your fellow peers who gave you the title. There are better ways to protest and let your voice be heard and the matter is already in court will be dealt by the law. LSA is the oldest running awards we have and has nothing to do with the other thing. Let’s keep it that way by being civilized and respectful. (still if you want to put it out on the road it’s better to return it to the LSA with dignity) #lsa2019 #luxstyleawards #respect #bedecent
