Islamabad, July 15, 2023 (PPI-OT):Pakistan Ulema Council has released the ‘code of conduct’ for promoting peace, inter-sect harmony, and tolerance during Muharram-ul-Haram across the country. This was announced by Chairman Pakistan Ulema Council and Prime Minister’s Special Representative on Interfaith Harmony Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, and other prominent religious figures at a news conference in Lahore.
It was informed that the code was developed in consultation with religious scholars from various schools of thought and religions. The Code of Conduct highlights that sectarian hatred, armed conflicts, and imposing one’s beliefs on others forcefully are contrary to Islamic teachings.
