Role of clergy post-Sialkot killing of Lankan man lauded

ISLAMABAD: The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama (ACJU), the apex religious body of Islamic theologians of Sri Lanka, lauded the Pakistani clergy for condemning the Sialkot killing of a Sri Lanka national and expressing solidarity with the islanders.

In an appreciation letter addressed to Special Representative to the Prime Minister for Interfaith Harmony and Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC) Chairman Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, ACJU said: “Your good self, the ulema and all religious leaders of Pakistan condemned the inhuman murder of our fellow Sri Lankan manager Priyantha Kumara in Sialkot and came forward to establish peace and justice.”

“We learnt about the joint meeting of the leaders of all religions and religious schools of thought under your leadership to term the incident as barbaric, fatal and brutal,” it added.

They expressed hope the government will set an example of Islamic teachings by promoting peace, empathy, humanity and justice under the guidance of religious leaders.
