Even shrines of Sufi saints not safe from extremists: Bilawal

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto said on Monday that even shrines of Sufi saints are not safe due to religious extremism.

Visiting the shrine of Sufi saint Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, PPP Chairman laid floral wreath and his grave. He also visited the shrine of famous Sindhi poet Sheikh Ayaz.

Bilawal Bhutto also addressed the attendees and media upon his visit. He said that it is really a happy moment for him to talk to everyone from the land of Bhit Shah, adding that it is worth pride for him.

He also credited the scholars for highlighting the message of peace given by Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai.

Addressing the inhabitants, PPP chief asked for their support so that the message of friendship amongst individuals can be spread all around the world. He blamed a certain group of people that damaged the real soul of the religion.

He mentioned that Bhitai spoke for the poor in his writings and assigned a high role for women. Bilawal said that they lifted the bodies of devotees on shoulders.

Criticising religious extremism, Bilawal told that terrorism has even risked the shrines of Sufi saints. “The need of hour is to spread the message (of peace) through Sufism,” he added.
