While terming suicide attacks un-Islamic, it condemned the incidents of terrorism. Vehemently flaying the US air strikes in tribal areas of Pakistan, they sought an immediate end to such attacks which was causing loss of human lives.

The conference called for arrest of the culprits involved in the Nishtar Park blast and demanded that they be brought to justice.

In a resolution, the conference regretted over increasing un-Islamic activities at the shrines in Sindh in the name of festivals and urged the government to check such intolerable activities and warned that the Jamiat-i- Mashaikh Ahl-i- Sunnat would launch a protest drive.

They said it was our religious and moral duty to preach love and Islamic values and bury hatred. The conference decided to launch a country-wide campaign to strengthen the network of the organisation.
