The Committee said that the elements who wanted to divide the people along sectarian lines for their contemptible objectives and destroying the peace of Karachi could not have any sympathy for Islam and humanity.

The Committee appealed to all the people belonging to various religious schools of thought to remain vigilant of the abominable conspiracy to incite sectarian strife in Karachi. They asked the people to be watchful and foil every attempt to destroy peace and tranquility of the city.

The Committee also stressed upon all the religious scholars to promote religious harmony in their lectures and religious gatherings. The religious scholars should play an effective role to defeat the conspiracy by preaching unity and brotherhood.
