He said that registration of treason cases against those protesting against presidential protocol in Karachi was condemnable.

He condemned Indian threats to Pakistan and declared that the custodians of 'minbar or mehrab' would stand shoulder to shoulder with Pakistan army if India dared to commit any aggression against Pakistan.
"If Indians think that they can intimidate Pakistan through their threats, they are living in fool's paradise. We'll teach them a lesson," he warned.
