LAHORE: Groups following the Ahle Hadith school of thought on Friday showed solidarity with Saudi Arabia against the threats from insurgents in Yemen.

Jamaatud Dawa held demonstrations in the federal and provincial capitals and raised slogans in favour of the kingdom.

Speaking to the participants in Lahore, Hafiz Saeed said a nationwide movement would be launched against alleged conspiracies being hatched by Jewish and Christian lobbies against Riyadh.

He also announced convening an all-party conference soon to assemble all political and religious parties on a single platform for framing a joint line of action on feared threats to Saudi Arabia. He urged the Iranian government to become a part of the Muslim world instead of falling prey to the Zionists.

Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith chief Senator Sajid Mir left for the kingdom here on Friday to meet Saudi rulers and express support of, what a press release, said Pakistani people in the need of the hour.
