KARACHI: Strongly condemning the terrorist attack on the Data Darbar in Lahore, leading religious scholars have termed it a conspiracy to shatter peace and provoke sectarianism in the country.
They urged the government to arrest the culprits and expose the conspiracies hatched by forces opposed to Pakistan and the unity of Ummah.
In a statement issued from Jamia Darul Uloom Karachi on Saturday, nine leading ulema of the country maintained that the incident in which at least 43 innocent and helpless Muslims were killed and many others injured cannot be condoned.
They said that those who attacked mosques and other places of worship and shrines and killed innocent people cannot be Muslims because such a conduct was forbidden in the Holy Quran and Sunnah.
"If such heinous act is committed through suicide attack, then it becomes even more grievous and deplorable act and has serious ramifications in the light of Sharia."
They urged people to realise the grave threat to the country's integrity and foil such conspiracies.
The statement was issued on behalf of Maulana Saleemullah Khan, president of Wafaqul Madaris Al Arabia Pakistan and administrator of Jamia Farooqia Karachi; Mufti Mohammad Rafi Usmani, Mufti-i-Azam of Pakistan and president of Jamia Darul Uloom; Mufti Mohammad Taqi Usmani, vice president of Jamia Darul Uloom; Dr Abdul Razak Iskandar, administrator of Jamia Uloom-i-Islamia Binnori Town Karachi; Mufti Mahmood Ashraf Usmani of Darul Afta Jamia Darul Uloom, Mufti Abdur Rauf Sukkurvi; Maulana Azizur Rahman, Maulana Rahat Ali Hashmi and Mufti Mohammad Zubair Ashraf Usmani.
