“I put this demand of books just to condemn many other wrong customs and traditions,” said Naila Shamal, pointing out that inflation had already badly stricken the country and had made peoples’ lives miserable,” said the bride in a video message.
She also said: “Inflation bars us from buying such precious things. Every woman demands money and gold. But I demanded books because I am a writer and I want that we all should give maximum importance to the books,”.
