ISLAMABAD (APP) - Chairman Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC) and Secretary-General International Tazeem-e-Haramain Sharifain Council, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi on Wednesday announced that the upcoming Friday would be observed across the country as a ‘Day of Condemnation’ against attempts to target Makkah al Mukarramah and attacks against the holy sites in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Addressing a press conference here, Ashrafi appealed to religious scholars, leaders, preachers and Imams from all schools of thought to condemn the attacks in their Friday sermons and highlight the unanimous position of the Muslim Ummah regarding the sanctity, security and protection of Haramain Sharifain.
