President Dr Arif Alvi has called upon Ulema to play their role to discourage the phenomenon of fake news and promote Islamic moral values, including tolerance, among people to create peace and harmony in the society.

Addressing the Paigham-e-Pakistan Ulema and Mashaikh Conference in Islamabad, he said the fake news termite the Muslim societies.

The President said incidents like Peshawar and Sialkot were part of a conspiracy to fan sectarianism in the country.

He said there is no room for mob justice in Islam.

President Alvi advised the Ulema to highlight the importance of human rights instead of indulging in petty differences.
