He said this, while talking to a delegation of Ulema led by Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rahman at the Governor House in Karachi.

Maulana Rehan Amjad Nomani, Mufti Nazir Jan, Maulana Sabir Noorani and Mufti Abid Mubarak were also present in the meeting, a press release said.

The president also urged them to educate people about women’s inheritance rights according to the injunctions of Islam.

The delegation appreciated the role of the president and the government for creating inter-sects and inter-faith harmony and for taking Ulema on board on all matters of importance especially during COVID-19.

They expressed their gratitude for opening the mosques during Ramazan with standard operating procedures (SOPs.).

Meanwhile, President Dr Arif Alvi Saturday said that it was an honour to present Nishan-i-Pakistan award to Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for his life long struggle for the rights of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

On his twitter account, the president further posted “A tribute through him also to the people of IIOJK. I wish I could have done it in person”.

On Pakistan’s 74th Independence Day, the president had conferred Nishan-i-Pakistan, Pakistan’s highest civil award, on noted Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Geelani in a ceremony at the Aiwan e Sadr to recognize his decades-old struggle for Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.
