Liaquat Baloch calls for the protection of Haramain

Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Deputy Emir Liaquat Baloch has stressed that protecting the holy sites of Makkah and Madinah is a shared responsibility of all Muslims, expressing deep concern over attacks on Saudi Arabia and their wider implications for the Muslim world.

In a statement, Baloch said the attacks on Saudi Arabia had sparked serious concern among Muslims across the globe. He emphasised that the security of Haramain Sharifain, Islam’s two holiest sites, remained a matter of collective importance for the entire Muslim Ummah.

Baloch also highlighted the significance of the proposed Makkah Defence Alliance, describing it as an important initiative amid growing security challenges in the region. He said Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye were exercising caution as they moved towards implementing their defence agreement.

He underscored the need for careful decision-making and coordinated efforts among Muslim countries to address emerging threats and protect their shared interests. Regional cooperation, he suggested, had become increasingly important as tensions continued to rise across the Middle East.

The Jamaat-e-Islami leader further warned that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East had entered a new and more dangerous phase, raising concerns about its potential consequences for regional stability and security.

Baloch’s remarks come amid heightened concerns over attacks targeting Saudi Arabia and the broader security situation in the region. His statement highlighted the importance of safeguarding Islam’s holiest sites while strengthening cooperation among Muslim countries to respond to evolving regional challenges.
