Islamabad, Sept 28, IRNA - Secretary General of Pakistan Shia Ulema Council strongly believes that Pakistani society is fully aware of common enemies and their tricks to ignite sectarianism in the country adding some Zionist elements try to target unity and stability in Pakistan, however, their efforts are doomed to fail.
In an exclusive interview with IRNA in Islamabad, Allama Arif Hussain Wahidi referring to some recent incidents related to Takfiri-terrorist movements and targeting innocent people in different cities of Pakistan said: Takfiri agents who these days seek to serve their friends from the illegitimate Zionist regime, are carrying out their evil plans to spread sectarianism in Pakistan.
Allama Wahidi condemned the attempt of some Western media outlets to publish fake reports claiming the formation of the so-called anti-Shia front in Pakistan, emphasizing: Westerners do not want stability and solidarity in Pakistan and are only looking for subjects that can damage the atmosphere of friendship and brotherhood among Muslims.
He added: Certainly, the recent developments in the Middle East and the betrayal to the oppressed Palestinian people have consequences, and one of its important aims is to create chaos in the Islamic world, especially in Pakistan and to distort public opinion on important issues in the Islamic world, including Palestine.
He said Sunni and Shia scholars pursue a common goal, which is to strengthen brotherhood and solidarity among the Muslims, especially against the plot of sectarianism.
He stressed: Senior Shia leaders of Pakistan have held important consultations with senior government officials these days and this process will continue until the desired results are achieved in the form of a joint front against Takfiri mind-set.
"We are concerned about the suspicious movements that seem to be led by some tyrannical Arab rulers and aimed at creating chaos in Pakistani society in order to prevent the people from reacting to the Arab betrayal to Palestine or the uprising against the evil Islamophobic conspiracy," he said.
Expressing his views, Arif Wahidi said Pakistani scholars and our Sunni brothers are vigilant and will not allow opportunists and common enemies to target the unity of society and brotherhood among Islamic sects.
