Pakistan proposes to mark March 8 as ‘Hijab Day’ to express solidarity with Muslim women in India

 

By Zahid Shah

 

ISLAMABAD (TSAT) - Pakistan religious affairs minister has proposed the Prime Minister Imran Khan to declare March 8 as “Hijab Day” in the country to express solidarity with Muslim women who are barring from Hijab in India and other countries. 

 

According to state-run Radio Pakistan, the minister Pir Noorul Haq Qadri has sent a letter to Khan and urged him to mark the coming March 8 as 'International Hijab Day’.

 

Haq wrote in his letter that Pakistan would express solidarity with the Muslim women facing issues of religious independence across the world.

 

“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,” Radio Pakistan quoted Haq as saying.

 

He propose to arrange program at federal and provincial levels to make the day successful.

 

Currently India is facing huge criticism across the world after banned Muslim girls from education because of wearing Hijab in Karnataka state. 

 

The US, Pakistan and several other countries called the Indian nationalist government decision is against the international religious freedom laws.
