MULTAN: Those who brought disgrace to religion by raising anti-religion slogans and displaying objectionable placards at the Aurat march would not be spared and action would be taken against them under the law.
This warning was issued by Special Representative to Prime Minister on Religious Harmony Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi while addressing a press conference here on Tuesday. He said freedom of speech was not meant to insult the religious beliefs. Such people wanted anarchy in the country and nothing else, he added. “What happened at the Aurat march does not happen even in Europe,” he said.
Ashrafi said Islam has given women rights more than any other religion. He said a fatwa had already been issued that whoever marries a minor girl would be punished according to the law.

KARACHI: The Aurat March 2021 organisers said Monday people may show a lack of trust in Prime Minister Imran Khan if the demands made on International Women s Day March 8 were not met.
In the speeches made during Karachi s Aurat March, organisers invited the Pakistani government to sit and talk with them as the demands put forward a year earlier have still not been met.
Running for the fourth consecutive year, Aurat March 2021 was held at the Frere Hall and was transformed into the Aurat Dharna Women s Sit-in in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
