KARACHI: Scholar offers mediation

Published February 9, 2007

KARACHI, Feb 8: Jamia Binoria Al-almia (Binoria University International) condemning the government on demolishing mosques and madressahs in Islamabad has offered to play the role of mediator between the government, Ulema and students resisting the demolition.

In a statement issued here on Thursday the JBA chief Mufti Mohammad Naeem said that by bulldozing the Amir Hamza mosque and other mosques and madressahs in the federal capital, the government had started changing the ideology of the country.

He said that the government was following the dictates being received from the western countries which were very dangerous for Islam and Pakistan.

Mufti Naeem demanded that the government should accept the demands of the madressah students resisting the demolition and as compensation reconstruct all the mosques and madressahs at government’s cost.

He said that if the government wanted he was ready to mediate between the government, ulema and students so that the issue could be solved amicably.
