ISLAMABAD: The prominent religious scholars on Monday unanimously declared that any armed activity against the state of Pakistan would be considered an act of rebellion and would be completely unacceptable.
Terming the Tehreek-e-Taliban’s (TTP) narrative as un-Islamic, ulema said that Pakistan is an Islamic state and its constitution is a clear proof of its Islamic nature, therefore nobody can challenge it in any way and such acts are totally prohibited in Islamic teachings.
