Dawoodi Bohra community leader Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin and caretaker Sindh Chief Minister Justice (retd) Maqbool Baqar inaugurated the new building of School of Law in the University of Karachi which has been named after the spiritual leader of the community.

“The inauguration of the building marks an onerous significant contribution by the Bohra Jamaat to the field of education,” the interim Sindh CM said while addressing the ceremony.

Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, and former provincial chief minister Murad Ali Shah were also present on the occasion.

Last week, President Arif Alvi gave approval to the conferment of Pakistan’s highest civil award ‘Nishan-e-Pakistan’ on Dr Saifuddin.

“The social service provided by the Dawoodi Bohra community extends borders and nationalities dedicated solely to human development,” Baqar said, “this inauguration coinciding with Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin’s visit to Karachi stands as a valuable gift for the students of Karachi and the entire nation of Pakistan.”

The caretaker Sindh CM added that the building stood tall as a catalyst for intellectual growth, societal growth, and continued harmonious co-existence of tradition and contemporary values in the landscape of Pakistan education.

He stated that the building showed the broader vision of the community in global human development. He thanked the board of the community for their commitment to the educational development in Sindh.

“Your dedication to fostering intellectual growth and advancing educational opportunities is a commendable contribution that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the future generations of our nation.”
