ISLAMABAD: The President of Pakistan Arif Alvi called on Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) head Allama Raja Nasir Abbas and discussed reservations raised by the religious party after the National Command Operation Center (NCOC) imposed a ban on Youm-e-Ali (RA) procession next week, ARY News reported.
According to the details on the phone call today, President Alvi reassured Nasir Abbas the religious events scheduled on Youm-e-Ali (RA) like majalis are sanctioned with the condition of Covid SOPs.
The MWM chief demanded in his phone call with the president the government ensure security to all Youm-e-Ali (RA) events organized across the country.
Separately, MWM leadership has announced a press conference denying NCOC notification earlier today that bans any processions and in fact conditions religious event gatherings with SOPs. MWM has convened a presser tomorrow where Abbas will conduct an address.
