Wedding which humiliated guests

I recently attended a wedding reception at Topi Rakh auditorium in Rawalpindi. The reception was hosted by a retired army colonel with a very large public contact.
The retired colonel has a rural back ground, of which he and his wife have never been proud of. There were two types of sitting arrangements for the guests. The guests from the rural areas were made to sit in a tent without air-conditioning and those from the army background were entertained in an air-conditioned hall.
The retired colonel was directing each guest to sit either in the tent or in the hall. As a result, all the people wearing suits and with stiff upper lips gathered in the hall and those wearing turbans and shalwar kameez sat in the tent.
I sat in the hall and went to the tent after finishing my meal. When I went inside the tent, I was shocked to see the people, which the retired colonel have declared unfit for air-conditioned hall or the VIP service. Some of them were politicians with a lot of fan following, some were landlords and some were social workers. It was humid and suffocating in the tent.
It was quite a humiliating experience for all of those sitting in the tent. Later on, it rained heavily and the tent did very little to shelter the people and crashed after sometime.
Almost everyone in the wedding was condemning the colonel's social sense.

    1. SOCIAL or SENSE does not come with the rank and status
      it is ur own self which lets u decide and do things
      You may rather MUST NOT blame an organization, a department or a country for personal follies, wrong doings, ill manners and pseudo standards of the people of that organization, department or country.
      Please be specific and name the person not the rank
      Please do not mind as well, if I hurt you
      Thanks
