Thousands of Ulema and Mashaikh at a grand gathering at Dar-ul-Quran Panj Pir here on Thursday announced their full solidarity with the Pakistan Army and Federal Government in the fight against terrorism and extremism.
The gathering, chaired by Sheikh-ul-Quran Maulana Muhammad Tayyab Tahiri, also expressed a firm resolve to extend all possible cooperation for the security, stability and defence of Pakistan and the sacred land of Haramain Sharifain.
Addressing the gathering, Chairman Pakistan Ulema Council and Coordinator of the National Peace Message Committee Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi said Islam was a religion of peace, security, love and tolerance and had nothing to do with any form of terrorism or extremism.
He said those who killed innocent people in the name of Islam had no connection with Islamic teachings, adding that the acts of terrorists could not be associated with the true message of Islam.
Ashrafi said the Ulema and Mashaikh stood shoulder to shoulder with the state and armed forces in the fight against terrorism and extremism.
He reaffirmed that collective efforts would continue for peace, national unity and stability in Pakistan.
Thousands of Ulema and Mashaikh from across the country participated in the gathering.
