ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Sunday accused the protesters of Islamabad sit-in of inciting people through propaganda on social media, rejecting the impression that government has allowed any flexibility on the issue of Khatm-e-Nabuwwat.
“There is no lacuna in the law relating to Khatm-e-Nabuwwat,” he told a press conference.
The minister who was flanked by Peer Ameenul Hasnat, Minister of State for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, said , “No government can compromise on the issue of Khatm-e-Nabuwwat. Khatm-e-Nabuwwat is part of our faith”
The interior minister said the parliament and the people of the country were custodian of Khatm-e-Nabuwwat.
Ahsan Iqbal said inciting religious sentiments was not appropriate, adding that Pakistan’s enemies are taking advantage of the image created by the protesters.
“We have showed restraint," he said in response to a question and appealed to the religious leaders to call off the sit-in as Islamabad was going to host foreign dignitaries at Joint Coordination Committee meeting on Monday.
He said although the entire nation was united on the issue of Khatm-e-Nabuwwat, the protesters have created the impression though their sit-in that the nation was divided on the issue.
