The envoys of OIC countries were unanimous in their condemnation of terrorism. However, they urged the President to ensure safety of the Muslim community in the face of some hate speeches of some senior politicians and a section of the clergy. The President assured them that as a government every possible step has been taken to ensure the safety of all the citizens. He said that current utterances of some interested parties are due to the prevailing political situation as an election is forthcoming.
