Prime Minister’s Special Representative for Interfaith Harmony and Middle East Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi on Sunday accused PTI workers of violating the sanctity of Masjid-e-Nabwi (PBUH) by raising slogans during the recent visit of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia. He said when the delegation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived at the Prophet’s mosque to pay respects at the Roza-e-Rasool (PBUH), the “politically sick” people chanted full-throat indecent slogans violating the reverence of the sacred place. He claimed that the PTI workers manhandled Federal Minister for Narcotics Control Nawabzada Shazain Bugti and misbehaved with Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mariyyum Aurangzeb. He said he had no personal agenda but the sanctity of Roza-e-Rasool (PBUH) would not be compromised at all costs.
