In a statement issued from his office, the provincial minister clarified that for the first time in history, Imran Khan extended support to the Imams of mosques, whereas the pro-West government was unable to tolerate the stipends being provided to them. He advised the Punjab government to abandon its anti-Islam policies and follow the example of the KP government, which was providing stipends to 16,818 Imams on a quarterly basis. Minister Adnan Qadri reiterated his commitment by stating that the number of Imams receiving stipends will be increased further, insha\u2019Allah.
