The local people showed as high spirit and affection as the Ansars did at the time ‘hijrat’ of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions.
However, he regretted that over the last few decades some elements remained engaged in cheap and negative politics, and tried to create hatred among the different ethnic communities.
He warned that no one would be allowed to create any kind hatred and issues on the basis of ethnicity or faith. This only damages the nation and the country. There is no room for those who want to deface Pakistan which was created after un-counted sacrifices by the ancestors. “ Anti-Pakistan voices will be crushed at any cost.”

We are the custodians of Muhajir culture, which is centred on mutual respect and love, Tissori advocated.
