He urged the participants of the sit-in protest to not let the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat movement die at any cost. He said that it was his will to all those listening.

The cleric urged the participants to take a vow today to follow the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He prayed that the Almighty grants them the strength to spread the movement to all parts of Pakistan and beyond. ------------------------------

Sialvi further said that there would be no dependence on the government if the people began to live their lives in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Quran and Hadith.

He complained that the leaders have not kept the Holy Quran ‘as near to them as they have kept law minister Rana Sanaullah’.

Sialvi urged the protesters to not cast their votes to ‘such people’.
