MULTAN: The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) demanded on Sunday that hijab should be made compulsory in the Constitution of Pakistan to make it an obligatory element of life for all women.
More than 200 women of Multan had gathered at Nawaz Shehar Square to protest against “media campaigns targeting hijab” and announced that the JI will celebrate “International Hijab Day” every year on September 4. The protest was led by the head of JI Multan women wing, Nazima Lala Rukh.
The protesters declared media as the biggest tool used by the west against Islam and said, “Hijab is the identity of women and the media is unaware of the holiness of hijab which is helping the western hands.”
The protesting women were wearing veils and were covered from head to toe beyond recognition. They declared that this was the right way of doing hijab which is compulsory for all Muslim women in the world.
The women were also carrying placards and banners against the western community, blaming the media for being their agent and supporters.
The protest continued for two hours.
The JI has planned to organise special seminars in women institutions all across Pakistan to teach women about the importance and compulsion of hijab to commemorate Hijab Day.
Pakistan Constitution should make hijab compulsory: JI – The Express Tribune
how ironic, they are holding a banner that says 'hijab is my pride, not compulsion' and they want to make it a law, idiots want to destroy pakistan, i request the government to ship these lunatics to saudi arabia before they destroy our society.
