He said after formulating complete guidelines, the compiled literature would be distributed among the clerics.

Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Member Mufti Ali Asghar proposed that the media persons should be provided adequate training to counter the fake news.

A number of Ulema and Mashaikh participated from every nook and cranny of the country and assured to provide their helping hands in case of tackling the social issues came under discussion in the online meeting.

At the end, Noor Qadri condemned the sad and intolerable incidents of Sialkot, Mian Channu, Sahiwal, and Peshawar and urged the government to continue taking adequate measures to overcome such inhuman acts in the future.
