LAHORE – Jamaat-i-Islami Women and Family Commission on Thursday held a seminar in Mansoora on Thursday, on the topic, “Pakistani women and current national scenario.” The speakers on the occasion spoke against the desecration of the Quran by Pastor Terry Jones and demanded that the government should cut off its diplomatic relations with the US. “Desecration of the Quran is an act of terrorism. Pastor Jones should immediately be hanged. War against terror has piled up uncountable problems for the women. Especially the mothers, whose loved ones succumbed to terrorism, are suffering from mental and physiological disorders,” said Samia Raheel Qazi.
Member National Assembly Begum Attia Anayat Ullah said that by providing education, healthcare and security to women, Pakistan could get a respectable position in the international community. Former senator Cap (r) Dr Kausar Firdous, Samina Saeed from Baluchistan, Fatima Orangzai from Fata, Zubaida Iqbal from KPK and Atia Nisar from Sindh were prominent speakers. Resolution against drone attacks was unanimously passed in the seminar.
