Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat has said that maintaining the sanctity of companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Ahl-al-Bayt is the first responsibility of all schools of thought and all possible steps will be taken to maintain religious tolerance and root out mischievous elements. Raja Basharat further said that the country is passing through a critical period and no one would be allowed to spread anarchy. This is not the first time when the govt, has taken such type of actions.

However, this year, the govt. has taken this step to stop the people from making gatherings due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
