Leaders of the opposition parties in the Punjab assembly have termed Arab-Islamic-American Summit in Riyadh as a conspiracy to isolate Iran.

Opposition leader Mian Mahmood-ur-Rasheed who hails from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf told media that the U.S. is hatching a conspiracy to create rift among the Muslims. In the Arab-Islamic-American Summit in Riyadh, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was not given an opportunity to speak, he added.
He was of the view that Pakistan must not become a part of any bloc against Iran. He said the Muslim countries need to play their due role in normalising relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Other parties leaders also opposed anti-Iran rhetoric by the enemies of Islam.
