KARACHI:
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has demanded of the government to announce a public holiday on Ramazan 10 on the occasion of Youm-e-Babul-e-Islam. JI spokesperson, Mujahid Channa, said the 10th of Ramazan has a lot of significance for the Muslims of this region as Islam came to Sindh with Muhammad bin Qasim, who reached Sindh with his convoy. Meanwhile, JI Sindh general secretary, Mumtaz Hussain Sahito, said they would hold programmes in all major cities and towns on Sindh to celebrate the ‘gateway of Islam day.’
