Islamabad, February 13, 2022 (PPI-OT):Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Pir Noorul Haq Qadri has urged Prime Minister Imran Khan to mark the ‘International Hijab Day’ on March 8 to express solidarity with the Muslim women facing issues of religious independence across the world.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, the minister said, marking the Hijab Day would help draw attention of the international community, including the United Nations towards physical and psychological maltreatment of women in India and the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir at the hands of Hindu extremists having full backing of Modi government.
Qadri said to make the Hijab Day a successful event, programmes should be organized at federal and provincial levels, and the human rights and information ministries be directed to prepare a consolidated strategy on the matter.
