ISLAMABAD– Federal Minister for Science and Technology, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Thursday said the responsibility to thwart efforts aimed at fanning violence and extremism in the country lies on every Muslim.

“Tehreek-e-Labbaik like extremist outfit wants to change the identity of Islam through fanning violence and extremism. It is the duty of every Muslim to thwart such efforts”, he said.
