ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for the continued cooperation of religious scholars to thwart the nefarious conspiracies of creating division and discord in the Muslim Ummah.
He expressed his views while talking to a delegation of religious scholars in Islamabad today (Thursday). “The religious scholars have a pivotal role to transform Pakistan into a genuine Islamic welfare state,” he asserted.
Commending the role played by the Ulema to cope with the issues of sectarianism and extremism, he said the process of consultations with the religious scholars will continue in order to take their guidance to address the challenges faced by the country.
The religious scholars were appreciative of the Prime Minister for truly representing the feelings of Pakistani nation and the entire Muslim Ummah at the forum of the UN. They hailed the Prime Minister’s categorical and unequivocal stance regarding Israel.
The religious scholars assured that they stand shoulder to shoulder with him on the matter and assured full cooperation to turn Pakistan into an Islamic welfare state. They also appreciated the government’s efforts to bring improvements to the seminaries.
Commending the government’s steps for the protection of minorities, the religious scholars said at present the minorities in Pakistan consider themselves safe but the minorities in India are not secure.
