Chairman MQI Supreme Council Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri has said that only those nations progress whose men and women have equal access and opportunities to education without discrimination. He said that education creates an awareness of rights and duties in human beings and educates them about the difference between the good and the bad. He said that it is due to education that Allah Almighty has given the status of the crown of creations to man.
