Prime Minister Imran Khan said Thursday religious scholars’ cooperation was crucial to stem the spread of coronavirus and that he would soon meet a delegation of Ulema in that regard.

In a meeting with renowned religious scholar Molana Tariq Jamil, the prime minister lauded Jamil’s public awareness campaign to curb the COVID-19.

PM Imran said the purpose of the government’s efforts was to save the people from the pandemic, which had engulfed the entire world.

He said the religious scholars had always guided the government in every difficult situation.

The government, in consultation with ulema, will formulate guidelines for the month of Ramazan, he added.
