He said all tools of the digital media have been leveraged by MQI to promote the message of peace, love, and interfaith harmony and to craft consensus against terrorism, extremism, and sectarianism.

He particularly congratulated Minhaj Women League that set the precedent by holding the first online training session which was followed by other forums.

Minhaj University Lahore, College of Shariah and Islamic Sciences and Minhaj Women College continued the educational activities uninterrupted during the Covid and thus they set up an example of dedicated service to the community in the private sector.
