The conference called Tablighi Jamaat. A destructive religious trend was organized by Zhambyl oblast administration and Kazakhstan Agency for Religious Affairs and was attended by representatives of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The participants of the event made a joint decision to acknowledge Tablighi Jamaat as a destructive and anti-national religious organization that harms interests of Muslims in Kazakhstan. “The organization promotes stratification of the society by religious affiliation and its members are called to ignore constitutional rights and obligations related to education and family care,” the theologists said. The decision was also made to call the members of the missionary movement Tablighi Jamaat to follow the ruling of Saryarka Regional Court of Astana that has banned the organization’s activities in Kazakhstan.
