On behalf of Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Pier Luigi on Wednesday invited Ulema Mushaikh Council Chairman Zubair Abid to attend the pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy. The invitation was sent on the recommendation of CCIDE Chairman Dr Andrew Francis. Abid, who was also heading the Peace and Harmony Network Pakistan (PHNP) along with Bishop Dr Andrew Francis, left for Italy where Pope Benedict XVI invited 300 religious leaders to a meeting in Assisi to repudiate violence ‘in the name of God’ amid growing tensions fuelled by fundamentalists across the world.
