Kamil Ali Agha in particular emphasised that the reservations of Tableeghi Jamaat should immediately be allayed as they are religious people and perform important and great duty of preaching Islam. This is to request the provincial governments and the federal government that in this difficult time respectable and honourable attitude be adopted towards them; excesses so far committed with them should be compensated; Pakistan and its people cannot bear annoyance of these great pious people in this difficult time; Sindh government should immediately compensate for the maltreatment and immoral treatment meted out to the Tableeghi Jamaat members in Sukkur and Hyderabad centres, the PML-Q leader said. Kamil Ali Agha further said, “We are concerned about the health of Provincial Education Minister Saeed Ghani and also pray may he fully recover with the blessings of Almighty Allah.”
