LAHORE, April 22: The Jamatud Daawa Pakistan on Sunday announced a peaceful campaign for the enforcement of the Islamic Sharia in the country with the support of the MMA.

Daawa leaders, including Hafiz Abdur Rehman Makki, Maulana Ameer Hamza and Maulana Abu-al-Hashim, told reporters that the movement would be based on the drive to solicit opinion against the Women Protection Act obtained through a signature campaign. They said about two million people, including around 800,000 women, from Lahore alone had rejected the law.

The signature campaign, they said, had voted against the law which should be repealed to protect women from being exposed to social ills. —Correspondent
