He also backed Tableeghi Jamaat and said that it was a peaceful organization while its members should not be treated unjustly.

He criticized the role of the provincial government in acting slowly on the matter, saying that Sindh has implemented orders to free the detainees but Punjab is yet to act. He said that the pandemic was a global issue and not related to any specific group.

Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar was contacted for release of Tableefghi Jamat members, he added.
