RAWALPINDI:

Leading ulama and scholars on Sunday delivered an unequivocal message of unity at the Qaumi Yekjehti and Paigham-e-Pakistan Conference, where Ruet-e-Hilal Central Committee Chairman Maulana Syed Abdul Khabeer Azad warned that the country faces an organized attempt to push it towards instability through sectarian and extremist narratives.

Speaking at the conference, Maulana Azad said that Pakistan was founded in the name of Islam and remains the stronghold of Islam, making the country the main target of hostile forces. He named Fitna al-Khawarij and Indian-backed elements as key actors seeking to fracture national cohesion through violence and propaganda.

He declared that the Pakistani nation had already taught the enemy a decisive lesson in Marka-e-Haq and stressed that any attempt to challenge the rule of the State through armed rebellion is 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 narrative against terrorism.
