He referred to the Hazaras as brothers and patriotic Pakistanis and said that the entire nation is deeply saddened due to the plight of Hazaras in Quetta. The PM stated; “there can be no justification for the murder of the innocent. Who can justify the killings of a child, women or a man who are trying to earn a living?”.
PM Ashraf that said no one should take law into their hands as it renders societies lawless and chaotic. He agreed that maintaining law and order is the responsibility and an obligation of the government.
The PM said that Pakistan cannot live in isolation and has to live in peace and tranquility with its neighbors and violent incidents inside the country spoil the image of the polity internationally. .
The Prime Minister quoted poet Allama Mohammad Iqbal who in his verses pointed that no matter what faith a human adheres to, they all wish to live in peace with others.
The prime minister said that”let everyone follow whatever he wishes and if there is a conflict, then they should follow the path of dialogue”.
The Prime Minister urged all religious leaders of all faiths to stand united and preach the message of love and peace across the country because they influence the masses and people listen to them.
The PM said that interfaith conference was a much-needed event to deliberate on an issue that has mutated into a challenge for the country.
Minister for National Harmony Paul Jacob Bhatti and Minister of State Akram Masih Gill on the occasion stressed upon the leaders of all faiths to strive hard to create a Pakistan, as envisioned
by Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Great message Islam emphasis on greater brother hood of mankind. It does not favor any sect. Faith must be kept personal matter. We must forget all difference of Color, Creed , Race, religion or any other consoderation that creats disharmony amongst us.
We should respect all human beings in the same vein. Life is God's gift and trust given to us to protect it.
May God Bless us all, and give us the wisdom to discern right from wrong
