![]() Saldhana urged the government to properly investigate the incident and arrest the culprits immediately. âThe miscreants are using the gap to fan religious hatred. The judicial inquiry report should be made public soon,â the message stated. On the other hand, the National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP), a missionary organisation monitoring the situation in Sangla Hill, said that Islamic groups gathered about 3,000 Muslims for Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid Rizvia, Main Market, Sangla Hill, on December 2. The gathering was addressed by Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadiri, central ameer Alam-e-Tanzeem Alah-e-Sunnat, Shahibzada Muhammad Zia, central nazim-e-ala Alah-e-Sunnat, MNA Shahibzada Haji Fazal Kareem and Hafizabad District Administrator Muhammad Yousaf Qadiri. The NCJP said that the religious leaders demanded the unconditional release of 88 Muslims detained for their alleged involvement in the November 12 incident and a public execution for alleged desecrator Yousaf Masih. In another development, Sessions Judge Sheikh Muhammad Yousaf has completed the judicial inquiry of the incident and will submit his report to the Punjab Home Department soon. |
