ISLAMABAD, Nov 15 (APP):Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council and Secretary General of the International Tazeem-e-Haramain Sharifain Council, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, has said that Houthi rebels have so far made seven attempts to attack Makkah Mukarramah and four attempts to attack Madinah Munawwarah, which are extremely alarming and condemnable.
He, in a video statement, strongly condemned these attempts and paid tribute to the vigilance of the Saudi defence forces and their operations to foil the attacks.
He said the recent attempts to target Saudi Arabia through two ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles and four drones were also extremely alarming.
Ashrafi said the protection of Haramain Sharifain is a matter of faith and belief for the entire Muslim Ummah and is our red line.
He said the Government of Pakistan, the Pakistani people, Muslim scholars and religious leaders, and Muslim governments consider the Houthis a terrorist and rebel organization that is carrying out attacks against the government and people of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
The Muslim world and the international community must take every possible effective step to eliminate Houthi terrorism and establish peace and stability in the region.
He called upon the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the United Nations and the international community to take immediate and practical measures to protect Haramain Sharifain, Saudi Arabia and the innocent people of Yemen and to prevent further attacks.
The religious scholars and people of Pakistan stand shoulder to shoulder with the Saudi leadership and people in the defence of Haramain Sharifain and for the security and stability of Saudi Arabia.
