‘OIC should resolve Gulf unrest’

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) should play an effective leadership role to resolve the unrest in Gulf countries. War has never been the solution for any issue, said Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Ashrafi said that the leadership of the Muslim community should constitute an effective and cohesive strategy against terrorists and their supporters. Pakistan enjoys a very respectful place in the comity of Muslim countries, he said. Pakistan has never been supporter of war; there is no secret of brotherly relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, he maintained. Pakistan condemns terrorism and extremism at every forum and is willing to eradicate the menace from Muslim world, he expressed.
