As the conflict grew between East and West Pakistan during the late 60s, hatred between the people of the two partitions kept on increasing. To slow down the effect of hatred among the people Government decided to use Quranic verses to promote the brotherhood between the people.
In 1969 a coin was designed with the verse ‘Innamal Mu'minuna Ikhwah’ from ‘Surah Al-Hujurat’ which translates to ‘Muslims are Brothers’, but for some reason, it never got issued. The conflict concluded to the collapse of East Pakistan.
