ISLAMABAD: The leaders of Wafaqul Madaris Arbia Pakistan have decided to hold meetings with the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chief of Army staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif and heads of other security institutions of the country on the matters of seminaries.
An important meeting of the executive council of Wafaqul Madaris and the leading Ulema and religious leaders of the country was held in Islamabad on the invitation of Wafaqul Madaris Arbia Pakistan. The meeting was headed by the acting president of Wafaqul madaras Maulana Dr Abdul Razzaq Sikandar.
The madaras said that they are allies of the government and the Pakistan forces for ending the terrorism and ensuring the stability of the country, saying that they are not a party in this regard.
A joint declaration was formally issued in this regard. It was said in the declaration that the freedom of religious madaras will be maintained.

It was demanded that indiscriminate action should be taken against the terrorists.

The Peshawar incident once again was severely condemned and it was termed the most tragic incident of the human history.
The leaders of Wafaqul madaras said that they support every effort for ending the terrorism but after the Peshawar tragedy, they will not let the effort of targeting the religious madaras succeed like Islam was targeted on the international level after the incident of 9/11.
