Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday said it was imperative for religious scholars to play their role in countering terrorism.
Addressing a delegation of religious leaders from different schools of thought at the Prime Minister’s House, Sharif said religious scholars should preach their fellow Muslims that Islam was a religion of peace and not violence.
The premier termed the role of Ulema as extremely vital for the country, which he said was going through a critical phase in its history. The premier also called upon religious scholars to show unity in their ranks.
