His Eminence said that the most important duty of governments in the Islamic political system is to build culture and stated, “Governments are responsible for the cultures of societies and must be held accountable and today the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance has that responsibility.”
He added, “Those who have responsibility have to be held accountable for what coverage and culture they have promoted in the society.”
