VC says the situation calls for such gestures as these could foster inter-faith harmony

FAISALABAD: The University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF) on Saturday distributed gift packs among UAF’s 130 Christian employees on the eve of Easter, to express solidarity with them on the community’s religious festival.

UAF Vice Chancellor Dr Muhammad Ashraf, along with Registrar Umar Saeed, Principal Officer Estate Management Dr Qamar Bilal, and other guests distributed the gift packs.

The VC said that the situation called for such gestures as these could foster inter-faith harmony. However, he further said, not a single penny was utilised from the university’s resources for the gift packs as donation was collected from administrative and university staff.
