Government orders withdrawal of FIRs against Ulema

Karachi, March 30, 2020 (PPI-OT): Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has directed the police department to withdraw all FIRs registered against prayer leaders of mosques and others for violating code of conduct made for Friday prayers.

 

“We, in consultation with leading doctors, and Ulema of different schools of thought, had decided that due to the threat of coronavirus, the Friday prayer congregation will be limited to the Imam of the mosque, the Moazen, Khadim and two other persons but unfortunately some people violated this code of conduct, as a result, the law took its own course,” CM Murad Shah said in a meeting held with UIema.

 

He directed the inspector general of police to with withdraw FIRs registered against Imams and other people all over Sindh. He requested the Ulema to keep the Friday congregation limited to five people as has been agreed earlier.
