Focusing on the internal dimension, the COAS called on Ulema to play a proactive role in promoting tolerance, discouraging sectarianism, and countering misinformation as well as externally driven destabilisation efforts.
He further cautioned against the misuse of religious sentiments to incite violence, stating that no unrest in Pakistan would be tolerated on the basis of incidents occurring outside the country.
Highlighting Pakistan’s diplomatic outreach, the army chief noted ongoing efforts aimed at regional de-escalation and stability.
The participating scholars reaffirmed their commitment to peace and stability, strongly condemning violence carried out in the name of religion. They also expressed full support for law enforcement agencies in maintaining order and strengthening national unity, the statement added.
