LAHORE: Special Representative to Prime Minister on Interfaith Harmony and Middle East and Chairman Pakistan Ulema Council Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi urged all parties to avoid use of religion for politics. Addressing press conference here, he asked Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan that he might practise politics as he wished, but he must consult any religious scholar before discussing religion. He alleged that Imran Khan told lies round-the-clock and was misleading his followers. He said that reconciliation was viable solution to all political disputes.

Commenting on visit of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to India, Ashrafi said he did not go to Goa (India) on invitation of India, adding that he went there on invitation of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. He appreciated Foreign Minister for his successful tour and said that Bilawal bravely presented Pakistan’s stance on Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir to Indian media.

He said Indian government and its Foreign Minister got frustrated, which was proof of Bilawal Bhutto’s success. He said that Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir had already expressed stance of Army on Kashmir in his address at Kakul Academy couple of days ago.
