LAHORE: Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi said on Tuesday that it was not right to ask other Muslims to provide evidence of their faith. Talking to visitin
g delegates of different religious sects on Monday, Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi underlined that it was not rightful to act on the policies of a religious sect to label fellow Muslims as infidels. “It is not customa
ry to ask Muslims to give evidence to prove their faith. A pre-planned conspiracy was hatched in the country by amending the text of the electoral reform bill,” said Tahir Ashrafi, adding that some elements had tried to spread anarchy in the country. “Teachings of Quran-o-Sunnah have categorically defined
in details all the tenants of Islam. Pakistan Ulema Council has been endorsed by all the religious organisations and religious sects. Only those are entitled for religious decree who fulfill all the
requirements of ‘A
fth217; decree. The government f Pakistan has been authorised to take action against all those in accordance with the National Action Plan who unlawfully use religious decrees,” he said.
