Pakistan's Ulama Council valued contents of the speech of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud at the opening ceremony of the 22nd session of International Islamic Fiqh Academy yesterday. The speech emphasized the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's standing by the legitimacy to save Yemen and its brotherly people. This came in a meeting held on Monday in the city of Lahore with the participation of ulama from different communities and activities of Pakistan. In a statement issued after the meeting, the President of Pakistani Ulama Council Sheikh Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi said that the speech of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques reflected the position of the Islamic nation, because he realized the danger from the very beginning and he knows that events in Yemen are in fact an attempt by regional powers seeking to spread sectarianism through their support of a small group that rebelled against the regime, the people and legitimacy. Sheikh Tahir condemned the recent attack by Houthi militias on the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in which a Pakistani resident was killed in Najran region, stressing that the Houthi militia attacks on the territory of the Kingdom revealed plans of its foreign supporters targeting the security of the country of the Two Holy Mosques . He also welcomed the efforts by the Kingdom to reach a humanitarian truce in Yemen and considered it as a right decision by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
