ISLAMABAD, Aug 18 (APP): Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC) and International Interfaith Harmony Council (IIHC) on Friday jointly observed a solemn ‘Condemnation Day’ nationwide, denouncing the shocking incidents of worship place desecration in Jaranwala.
The widespread outrage echoed through mosques across the country as religious leaders and scholars addressed Friday congregations.
The call for unity and justice resonated as Ulema and Mashaykh from various regions of the country condemned the heinous act. Demanding swift justice, they reiterated that the perpetrators of the Jaranwala incident must face a speedy trial.
Religious scholars, while speaking to the public during Friday sermons, firmly labeled those inciting violence as enemies of Islam and Pakistan.
The Jaranwala incident had deeply saddened and embarrassed the entire nation, with religious scholars asserting that it tarnished the image of Islam, Muslims, and Pakistan.
Emphasizing the responsibility of safeguarding non-Muslims within a Muslim-majority state, Ulema and Mashaykh reminded that protection was a duty shared by the state and its Muslim citizens.
The shocking attack on the Christian community’s sacred places and homes was strongly condemned, with religious leaders highlighting its contradiction to the Najran agreement of the Prophet Muhammad?
Leadership figures, including PUC Chairman and IIHC President, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, played a central role in addressing Friday sermons.
He announced that a delegation of Muslim and Christian leaders would journey to Jaranwala on Saturday, asserting, “We stand as plaintiffs of the Jaranwala tragic incident.”
