ISLAMABAD, May 6 (APP): Ulema and Mashaikh hailing from all schools of thought on Friday urged to take action against the miscreants for violating the sanctity of Masjid-e-Nabvi.
Addressing people during the Friday’s sermons, they said those who desecrated the Prophet’s Mosque had tarnished the image of Pakistan across the globe. Regarding former Human Rights Minister Dr Shireen Mazari’s letter written to the United Nations special rapporteurs against the misuse of blasphemy law, the Ulema and Mashaikh said if the blasphemy law was misused at any place, then there were courts and national institutions to sort out the issue.
They said Shireen Mazari’s letter would strengthen anti-blasphemy and anti-religion forces across the world. Pakistan Thehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan should ask her to withdraw the letter in the larger national interest, they appealed. They said the unruly mob violated the sanctity of Masjid-e-Nabvi with a systematic planning which had not happened in 100 years of history.
Ulema and Mashaikh said the nation expected Imran Khan and the PTI to openly condemn the disgraceful incident. They said political differences should not lead to the extent of revenge and hatred.
It was unfortunate that the sanctities were being targeted under the guise of political differences as a malicious campaign was being launched against the Pakistan Army, they added.
They said nobody would be allowed to misuse the blasphemy law in the country and welcomed the steps taken by the prime minister in that regard.
