Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) has strongly condemned the setting a mosque on fire by a violent mob in Nepal's capital Kathmandu describing it a failure of the government in protecting the worship places of minorities in Nepal.
"Terrorists who had killed the 12 Nepalese are neither Muslims nor Christians because they have no religion. It is condemnable act of violent Hindu Nepalese who had burnt a mosque in Katmandu and they had hurt the sentiments of Muslims in the world," said Mufti Hidayatullah Pasroori, Local Chief of MMA.
It is a duty of the Nepalese administration to protect the lives, properties and worship places of the Muslims, otherwise it would have serious repercussions, said Dr Muhammad Arif of JUI.
All the countries should call their forces and manpower from Iraq because United States was ruthlessly killing the Muslims of Iraq and desecrating their holy places like shrine of Hazrat Ali, otherwise freedom fighters would continue to kill the allies of USA and UK, said Rao Zafar Iqbal of JI.
