Pak Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf's wife, Nusrat Pervez Ashraf, has urged Muslim women to wear the hijab. She said it does not prevent them from making progress. Nusrat, while addressing the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Women and Family Commission's (WFC) hijab conference, said Muslim women should not hesitate to wear a veil, as it does not hamper their performance in daily routine, nor does it come in the way of their progress. Nusrat said Islam ensures protection and respect for women, and that women could show their abilities by keeping themselves within the limits of Islam. During the conference, a declaration was read out in which developed countries of the world were demanded that they must immediately initiate steps to withdraw ban on wearing hijab. It also said that Muslim women must not be denied of their right of freedom.
