PM orders steps to protect youth from ‘immoral’ alien culture

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday urged the need of taking urgent steps to guard the country’s youth against the onslaught of immoral alien culture through modern means of communication, especially the social media.

“We have to follow the glorious traditions set by our Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) 1400 years ago to bring positive changes in our society”, he said while chairing a meeting of Rahmatul-lil-Aalameen Authority.

He directed the authorities concerned to conduct credible research on how to effectively ensure character building of “our tech-savvy” youth.

The Prime Minister emphasized on introducing changes in the curriculum for educating students at school, college and university levels in the light of glorious teachings of Seerat-e-Tayyaba.

The meeting was attended by Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood , Religious Affairs Minister Pir Noor ul Haq Qadri and renowned national scholars.
