Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council and coordinator of the Prime Minister’s Paigham-e-Pakistan Committee, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, has responded strongly to recent remarks attributed to the Indian military leadership, saying threats against Pakistan would not weaken the country.
In his statement, Ashrafi said the Indian Army Chief should remember last year’s “Bunyan-un-Marsoos” and “Maarka-e-Haq” instead of issuing threats toward Pakistan.
Ashrafi stated that Pakistan was founded on the principle of “La Ilaha Illallah” and would continue to remain strong and stable.
“Pakistan was established on the foundation of faith and, God willing, it will remain until the Day of Judgment. No one can harm it,” he said.
