KARACHI: Jamia Binoria’s chief cleric Mufti Muhammad Naeeem on Wednesday backed polio vaccination drive and termed attacks on polio teams as un-Islamic.
Mufti Naeem said medical research has established that polio vaccine is not injurious to human health, according to a local media channel.
“In the past I too had suspicions about the vaccine, but not anymore,” he admitted. “This vaccine saves children from lifetime disabilities and other preventable diseases.”
The top cleric appealed to people to administer polio drops to their children.
It must be remembered that World Health Organisation has expressed concern at the emergence of new cases of the disease across the country while militant groups are attacking polio vaccination teams blaming western powers of using the campaign as intelligence collecting technique.
