Ludhianvi is on the Pakistani legislature's list of persons with suspected ties to terrorism.[4] However, he is considered as a moderate leader by the government officials compared to the other leaders of ASWJ, while he is also commonly referred as “safer-e-aman” (ambassador of peace) by his followers.[5] Ludhianvi has stated that he supports sectarian harmony, as long as it does not impede his group's goal of making Pakistan a Sunni Islamic state and declaring Shia Muslims a minority, like the Ahmadiyya in Pakistan.[6]
