A joint statement released at the event said that Istehkam-e-Pakistan conventions, conferences and congregations entitled “One Nation, One Destination” would be organised across the country from March 1 to 30.
It said that Ulema and Mashaikh would support every good deed of the government and play their role of holding those accountable who would indulge in violation of the Sharia matters. They said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had proved to be a great leader of the Muslim Ummah for raising voice at the world forums on the issues of Namoos-e-Risalat and belief in the finality of Prophethood.
The convention was attended by more than 1,000 leading religious scholars and clerics from across the country.
