Many women were given roses as a mark of appreciation for wearing the veil.
The group also impressed upon those who were not wearing any veil to start wearing one.
In the past, firebrand womens' outfit 'Dukhtaran-e-Milat' (Daughters of the nation) threatened those who did not wear 'hijab', drawing sharp reactions from the people.
