"After the ban was imposed on Tableeghi Jamaat, I requested COAS Qamar Javed Bajwa to talk with Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, after he [Qamar Javed Bajwa] requested Muhammad Bin Salman – over the matter on which he [Muhammad Bin Salman] agreed.

Commending former premier Imran Khan and his party for rendering religious services, CM Elahi said that the decision of providing Nazra Quran education to the students, helped Imran and the PTI – a great deal.

Highlighting the importance of Tableeghi Jamaat, CM Elahi said that Tableeghi Jamaat is a ‘real face’ of the Islamic world, but sadly with due to some people, the positive image of Muslims – was misrepresented.

CM Elahi also vowed to achieve the target of completing the development projects in Raiwind by March, as he [Elahi] asked the concerned departments to active ‘from onwards’ in this regard.
