ISLAMABAD: Special Envoy to the Prime Minister on Religious Affairs, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi and the Pakistani Diaspora in the Middle East and Islamic Countries, on Thursday condemned the attempts by some persons to exploit the ambiguity arising from the Supreme Court verdict in the Mubarak Ahmed Sani case for political purposes.
Addressing the media with the interim Minister for Information, Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, he asked opponents of the verdict to use legal avenues to resolve their issues rather than opting for street protests or violence. This is particularly important given the impossibility of authorizing the use of banned material in Pakistan.
He urged the Punjab government to file a review petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan and emphasized the fundamental belief in the finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the last prophet of Allah, which was an integral part of the Muslim faith.
According to the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, this matter is settled. Every Muslim is charged with protecting the sanctity of the finality of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

He called on all to foster an environment that would ensure that stability and peace in the country remained intact.
The religious freedom of every Pakistani, including non-Muslims, is enshrined in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Similarly, the rights of non-Muslim Pakistanis are protected in the constitution. It is also necessary to ensure the protection of their rights.
Appreciating the efforts of law enforcement agencies to ensure peaceful elections nationwide, he urged YouTubers and social media activists to refrain from inciting riots, stressing that Pakistani Muslims are unanimous in upholding the sanctity of the finality of the Holy Prophet.
There are hundreds of Huffaz in every city who show their love for their country.
