Secretary Auqaf, Hajj, Religious & Minority Affairs Department

Government of Khyber pakhtunkhwa

It gives me an immense pleasure to say that the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa gives special importance to the Auqaf, Hajj, Religious & Minority Affairs Department because of the fact that every segment of our society is shaped by religion. Hence responsibilities assigned to the Auqaf, Hajj, Religious & Minority Affairs Department are of immense importance.

Keeping this thing in mind, the incumbent government focuses on the services offered by the Auqaf, Hajj, Religious & Minority Affairs Department to the public and has allocated sizeable amount of funds for various activities of the Department. Due emphasis has been given to the welfare of minority community of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where enormous funds for their development during the financial year 2018-19 have been ear-marked.

So far, protection and safeguarding the rights of the minorities as mandated, the department is well poised in guaranteeing these rights as enunciated in the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

There is no denying the fact that secure and progressive minorities are the building blocks of any secure community and stable society. My vision and aim is very loud and clear and that is to seek just and equitable society and to mainstream the vulnerable and marginalized minorities and to strategize various plans and programmes to reduce the degree of their basic needs, issues & problems.
