When the world was celebrating International Women’s Day, the freedom of women was attacked by making Hijab compulsory in PoK schools

Pakistan has become poor and the country is struggling with all kinds of problems, but instead of solving the problems, Pakistan and its provincial governments are creating new problems. Now take Pakistan Occupied Kashmir itself, Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s government is here. Who has taken such a decision against which a big ruckus has arisen in the entire PoK. Let us tell you that the need of PoK is uninterrupted power supply, increasing employment opportunities, removing the shortage of essential food items and eliminating terrorist training camps, but the reverse is happening here. If seen, the people of PoK have been on the streets against the Government of Pakistan for a long time because this region is being continuously discriminated against. This sector is being given the least help in Pakistan, which is facing financial and food crisis. The federal government of Pakistan is not only discriminating against PoK, but the provincial government led by Imran Khan’s party is also making life difficult for the people of PoK.

The government of PoK has taken such a decision that it seems that Taliban rule has come in PoK. In fact, the government has ordered that it will be mandatory for female teachers and students to wear hijab in PoK schools. Especially in co-educational institutions, the decision to make women teachers and girl students wear hijab will be strictly implemented. As soon as the notification related to this decision came out, there was opposition to it. People in PoK are taking to the streets against this decision. On the other hand, Islamic scholars say that there is a need to eliminate terrorism from this region, but the government is imposing Taliban rule here.

Let us also tell you that this decision came at a time when the whole world was celebrating International Women’s Day. How the rights and freedom of women are being crushed in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other Islamic countries, this decision of the Government of PoK is a hallmark of that.
