KARACHI-
Chief of Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain on Thursday demanded that the religious scholars of Pakistan should issue a decree on the statement of Jamat e Islami Chief Munawwar Hassan over the historic battle of Karbala.
The JI chief had previously termed Karbala as a battle between two companions of the Holy Propeht (PBUH), claiming that he cannot say who among Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) and Yazeed fought on principle.
His statement drew severe criticism from all religious groups and general public.
The MQM chief asked the religious scholars to issue a diktat on the JI leader’s statement to clarify what Munawwar would be called after slandering a sacred event of the Islamic history.
