Islamic knowledge contest held

Urging the organisers to organise such programmes for women as well in future, he said balanced growth of society was possible only if women moved shoulder to shoulder with men.

Maulana Saleem Panegar, while coming down heavily on Muslim youths wasting time in gossiping at street corners till late night, asked those present to utilise time in acquiring knowledge so that they could become better citizens and be useful to the society.

Maulana Ameen Kajalwala praised the organisers for holding the function at a time when moral values were on the decline. He said an atmosphere of vulgarity and obscenity was prevailing all around and it was being vitiated through the print and the electronic media.

Ansar Ghulam Mohammed, Hafiz Ghulam Mohammed Abrar and Mohammed Imran Jumliawala won the first, second and third position respectively in the below 15 years age group, while Ghulam Mohammed Tauswala, Siraj Ahmed Tauswala and Abdul Shakoor Tauswala won in the above 15 years category.
