ISLAMABAD: Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has said that the endeavours of the Muslim World League for the unity of Muslims around the world are praiseworthy. Addressing a seminar held in Islamabad by the Pakistan Ulema Council, he said that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia share a unanimous stance on the issues of Palestine, Kashmir, and other challenges facing Muslims today and the leadership of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were making a joint effort to eliminate the threat of terrorism, extremism, and sectarian violence. Aziz asserted that terrorists were defaming Islam and Muslims all over the world. It is his belief that the Muslim World League should play a proactive role for unity, stability, and peace in the Muslim world. Aziz said that the Islamic scholars of Pakistan and leadership of the Muslim World League should play a very active and positive role to maintain peace and harmony in challenges facing Muslim countries. Adviser on National Security Nasser Khan Janjua said that enemies of Islam and Muslims were hatching conspiracies to divide the community on sectarian grounds. “We should demonstrate unity to contain all these conspiracies,” he said. He urged religious scholars to educate young Muslims against the propaganda of terrorists and extremists. He said that these terrorists and extremists were spreading propaganda based on ‘the holy war’ and Islamic scholars should come forward with an explicit stance to contain the propaganda of these extremists. “Islam does not allow killings of innocent people and the Muslim World League should come forward for proper guidance of Muslims amidst this scenario,” he said.
