 Non-government organisations (NGOs) are spreading vulgarity and un-Islamic and anti-Pakistan values under the guise of uplift projects, Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) member of the National Assembly (MNA), said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, he said that the MMA government would not tolerate any activities that were misguiding the younger generation of Pakistanis. âWe (MMA) are not against the Aga Khan Foundation or any other organisation in particular and we are even running our own NGOs,â he said, adding, âhowever, we will not allow those organisations, which are involved in un-Islamic and anti-Pakistan activities to continue.â
 âWe are against the NGOs who invite women from rural districts such as Chitral for training and workshops in Islamabad, where they are given an opportunity to indulge in immoral and vulgar activities like thinking for themselves and laughing at my tiny moustache. When I want a woman's opinion, by Allan, I'll give it to her,â Maulana Chitrali told Daily Times. He said that in the weekly or monthly workshops held by these NGOs, veiled women from the rural areas took off their veils, thus spreading vulgarity and violating the traditions of Pakistani society. âIf they are genuinely interested in social development then why are these NGOs not holding their workshops in the rural areas?â he asked. |
