Jihad mandatory for every Pakistani if India attacks, says Fatwa

Lahore, Jan.6 (ANI): Amidst international efforts to tone down the
rising tension between India and Pakistan, religious groups in Pakistan
have decreed that Jihad or the holy war would become mandatory for
every citizen of Pakistan if India wages a war.

According to a fatwa issued by an all parties conference, Jihad will be
mandatory for the Pakistani nation in case India attacks the country,
the Daily Times reported.

The participants in the all party meeting also demanded the
Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) to issue a declaration
condemning India.

Expressing concern over the current political scenario, the joint
communique opined that the two major political parties of the country
should not create difficulties for each other, as it would worsen
Pakistans current crises.

The meet was attended by a number of noted religious scholars and heads
of various religious and political parties, including the Pakistan
Muslim League-Nawaz, the Tehreek-e-Insaaf, the Sunni Tehrik, the
Mustafai Tehrik, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan, the Minhajul Quran, the
