Ashrafi requests SC to issue clarification, Punjab govt file review
Meanwhile, in a press conference in Islamabad alongside caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi, Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Tahir Ashrafi said that on February 6, the Supreme Court pronounced a decision regarding which lawyers and scholars were consulted. “Belief in the finality of Prophethood is an issue concerning every Muslim,” he observed, adding that some people tried to use it for political purposes.
He requested the Supreme Court to issue a clarification and suggested the Punjab government file a review petition against the said decision to avert any chaos. “It is requested from the Supreme Court that if there is any ambiguity, it should be clarified,” he remarked.
Ashrafi also advised the miscreants that this was a legal matter that will go to court, therefore politics on such an issue in a big crime. He also addressed the Youtubers, saying that the issue has been settled in the Constitution and will not be tampered with.
“God himself has taken the responsibility of protecting the holy Quran,” Ashrafi stressed.
