The Chief Adviser’s press wing issued a press statement in this regard on Saturday.

“It has come to our notice that a group of miscreants have been attacking Sufi shrines and mazars across the country for past few days. The interim government condemns in the strongest terms any hate speech and attacks on the religious and cultural sites and Sufi shrines,” the statement said.

“The government is working to bring the unscrupulous forces involved in the attacks to book and initiate stringent legal actions against them,” it added.

The statement said, the law enforcing agencies were given instruction to take adequate measures to protect the religious shrines and cultural sites.
