The prime minister said establishment of such an institution in that regard was of paramount importance where comprehensive discussion and genuine research about the services of Sufia-e-Kiram and mysticism could be done.
He said establishment of such an institution and the research done there would not only inform the new generation of the real teachings of Islam but it could also save the society from the exploitation done on the name of religion.
