FM calls fomenters of sectarian strife as enemies of Pakistan

The latter called on him at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday.

Shah Mahmood underlined the role of Ulema important in crushing the menace by promoting inter-faith harmony.

He said enemies of peace tried to foment sectarian strife in the country.

Qureshi said nefarious minds had an unsuccessful plan to disrupt peace of society by fanning flames of sectarianism.

On maltreatment to minorities in India, the Foreign Minister said anger prevailed among Muslims and other faithful across the world against the government’s Hindutva ideology.

He said the prejudiced mindset of BJP had entirely buried the concept of a ‘secular India’ of its founding fathers Gandhi and Nehru.

Khwaja Moinuddin Korija appreciated the Foreign Minister’s clear stance against the growing trend of Islamophobia across the globe.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Wednesday highlighted disturbing rise in Islamophobia across the globe.

Moreover, he urged upon the international community to “build bridges and respect each other’s religions and beliefs”.

He said this, while virtually addressing Islamophobia at the high-level meeting of the Group of Friends of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) on its 15th anniversary.

Foreign Ministers of Spain and Turkey co hosted the event. High Representative of UNAOC presided.

He commended the work of the Alliance of Civilizations in advancing mutual respect for diverse cultures, traditions and religious beliefs.

He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to the promotion of inter-faith and inter-cultural harmony.
