Pakistan’s government announced a ‘Solidarity Day’ to show support to Indian Muslim women which will be observed on Friday. This announcement was made by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Religious Harmony, Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi on Wednesday.
The decision was made after an incident with an Indian Muslim girl, Muskan Khan who was harassed and bullied by saffron-wearing Hindu boys in the Indian state, Karnataka on her college premises.
He also condemned the discrimination and brutal treatment against the Muslim community on a basis of religion.
Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi said, “One daughter bravely challenged the violent mob and she made proud all the Muslims.”
While giving an interview to NDTV, Muskan Khan revealed that she only came to college to submit an assignment.
She was praised for her bravery and courage in standing against saffron-wearing boys across the border by several Pakistani politicians and journalists.
Last week, the Indian state, Karnataka, banned religious clothes in educational institutions amid a controversy over the hijab and saffron scarves.
