Noor-ul-Haq Qadri, the Minister for Religious Affairs, has called for an end to the Aurat March, proposing that March 8 be designated as Hijab Day.
The minister expressed his displeasure with the audacious slogans of the Aurat March in a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, arguing that they should be prohibited since they are anti-Islamic.
He claimed that the march’s banners, posters, and shouts represented social protest as well as opposition to religious and cultural standards.
Women’s issues like as inheritance, domestic violence, and harassment in offices and workplaces, according to Qadri, should be addressed instead of the “western adopted agenda.”
Pakistan is an Islamic country, and the majority of its citizens wished to live according to socio-cultural standards, therefore such events mocked religious and social conventions.
Such events, according to Qadri, bring immense pain to Muslims in the South Asian country.
