Islamabad: Ulema, belonging to different schools of thought, and the government have agreed that nobody will be allowed to take law into hands in the name of religion.
Addressing a joint news conference, along with Ulema, in Rawalpindi today, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar strongly condemned the issuance of fatwas against Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa.
He said the Supreme Court, in its Urdu press release, has clarified that believing in the finality of Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is part of every Muslim’s faith.
The Minister said neither law nor society permits anyone to issue decrees against fellow Muslims’ faith.
He said a case has been registered against the culprits behind such fatwas, aimed at spreading hatred.
He said strict action will be taken in this regard.
