Pilgrims of all faiths being facilitated: Qureshi

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Saturday said that the future of Pakistan was bright and the nation prayed for its development and prosperity.

Offering Dua on the second day of Urs of Hazrat Shah Rukan-e-Alam, he said that special attention was being paid to the shrines of all religions so that maximum facilities could be provided to the pilgrims despite the coronavirus.

He lauded the provincial government and Auqaf department for making commendable arrangements for the Urs.

He welcomed the Punjab Auqaf Director General for attending the Urs.

He asked him to look at the slow pace of work on ongoing development projects on Shah Rukan-e-Alam, Bahauddin Zakariya and BiBi Pak Daman shrines.

He said despite the cold, a large number of pilgrims had joined the Urs as compared to the last years when there was a ban on gatherings due to coronavirus.
