LOWER DIR: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Pakistan (JUI-P) leader and former chairman of Council of Islamic Ideology Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani has said coordination between religious scholars and lawyers is important to ensure the rule of law in the society.

He was addressing a function arranged by the sub-divisional bar at Chakdara here on Monday.

JUI-P leaders Maulana Gul Naseeb Khan, Maulana Shujaul Mulk and Chakdara bar president and others were also in attendance.

Maulana Sherani insisted the country had always had a weak democracy due to the interference of the establishment with the political process.

He claimed that the United States was pursuing a policy of division, pushing the Muslim nations into the fire of sectarianism.

He asked the Muslims to be aware of these conspiracies and avoid fighting against each other on someone’s dictation. He said a peaceful, developed and prosperous society guaranteed successful life.
