Ulema signal support for 12pm-3pm lockdown today
KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah Thursday announced that a complete lockdown will be observed in the province tomorrow (Friday) from 12-3pm after a meeting with Ulema who signaled their support for the decision.
In a meeting with Chairman Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman and scholars from different sects, the Sindh CM said, “I thank all the Ulema for cooperating with us so far. Hopefully, on Saturday, as agreed with the federal government, new SOPs will be drafted for the mosques.”
“Everything will be closed during the lockdown, while mosques will remain open for limited congregation,” he said.
“I have told police to not take strict measures against people going into mosques during the lockdown[...] In the meantime I appeal to the public for cooperation,” he said.
“The masses should refrain from praying in the mosques,” he said.
