Islamabad: Maulana Hafiz Mohammad Tahir Ashrafi, chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council and a member of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), presented a 15-point agenda to help the council formulate its recommendations for the parliament and the government for forming laws to curb sectarian divide and violence.
In a letter written to the secretary, Ashrafi said that the council was a constitutional institution with an objective to bring Islamic reforms in the Constitution and law as well as help the government in resolving the problem facing the country in the light of the guidelines of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. He said that the council should play its positive role in ending sectarian violence in the country.
Ashrafi has suggested formation of a board within the CII which would take up any and all conflicts between different sects and resolve them through deliberations.
He said that the agenda was broadly based on a code of conduct mutually drafted and agreed up by all religious parties and groups from the platform of Mili Yakjehti Council (MYC).
He said the prevailing deteriorated law and order situation in the country could be controlled by making legislation based upon the code of conduct. He said that the Islamic Ideology Council could send its recommendations to the Parliament for lawmaking.
