Eminent scholar and Chairman of the International Shah Hamadan Conference presided over the event.
Addressing the participants of conference, Dr. Ghazanfar Mehdi stated that promoting the teachings of Hazrat Shah Hamadan can completely eradicate terrorism and sectarianism. He said that Hazrat Shah Hamadan serves as a significant cultural bridge between Central Asia and Pakistan, and his personality and achievements should be included in the curriculum.
Director Sajjad Hussain mentioned that due to Hazrat Shah Hamadani, Muslims in Azad Kashmir and occupied Kashmir stand united.
A comprehensive strategy should be formulated by the government to republish the works of Hazrat Shah Hamadan. His influence allowed women in Central Asia to work alongside men.
