RAWALPINDI:
Prominent ulama and academics delivered an unambiguous message of unity at the Qaumi Yekjehti and Paigham-e-Pakistan Conference on Sunday, where Ruet-e-Hilal Central Committee Chairman Maulana Syed Abdul Khabeer Azad warned that the country was facing an organized attempt to push it towards instability through sectarian and extremist narratives.
Addressing the conference, Maulana Azad said that Pakistan was founded in the name of Islam and remains the stronghold of Islam and hence the country is a prime target for hostile forces. He named Fitna al-Khawarij and Indian-backed elements as key players seeking to break national cohesion through violence and propaganda.
He said the Pakistani nation had already taught the enemy a decisive lesson at Marka-e-Haq and stressed that any attempt to challenge the powers of the state through armed rebellion was religiously prohibited.
“The people and armed forces of Pakistan are united,” he said, paying tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for national security. He urged religious leaders to use the pulpit to promote peace, harmony and Paigham-e-Pakistan discourse against terrorism.
