ISLAMABAD, Oct 25 (APP):Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council and Secretary-General of the International Tazeem-e-Haramain Sharifain Council, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, has expressed grave concern and strongly condemned reports of Houthi ballistic missile attacks towards Makkah al-Mukarramah and Madinah al-Munawwarah, saying that the Haramain Sharifain are a red line for two billion Muslims and no attempt to attack their sanctity and security is acceptable.
He said the designs of Houthi terrorists and their backers were extremely dangerous.
He stressed that the entire Muslim Ummah must unite against any attempt to target Baitullah al-Ateeq and Masjid-e-Nabawi (Peace Be Upon Him) after Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Ashrafi called upon Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to take steps to convene an immediate emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
He also urged the United Nations Security Council to hold an immediate meeting and take decisive measures against these terrorist threats.
He said two billion Muslims could not remain silent on the sanctity and protection of the Haramain Sharifain.
The leadership of the Islamic world must now make a clear, unequivocal and collective decision. The Muslim Ummah is waiting for this decision.
The entire Muslim Ummah stands shoulder to shoulder with the Saudi leadership and people in defending the Haramain Sharifain and safeguarding the security and stability of Saudi Arabia.
