Islamabad, October 26, 2020 (PPI-OT):The Senate has unanimously passed a resolution condemning latest attempt of republication of the caricatures of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad [Peace Be Upon Him] in France. The resolution, moved by leader of the House Dr Shahzad Waseem, said that such condemnable acts supported by government further accentuate discord, alienation and divide between the followers of different faiths. It reaffirmed that the love for our beloved Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] is beyond any doubt and it is part of our faith and no Muslim can tolerate such horrendous acts.
The House strongly urged the parliaments and the international community to come up with a framework and needs to stop recurrence of such acts in future to ensure peaceful co-existence as well as social and interfaith harmony. Speaking in the Senate, Minster for Religious Affairs and Inter-faith Harmony Noor-Ul-Haq Qadri said the resolution reflects the sentiments of all Muslims. He said French President demonstrated irresponsible and criminal behaviour. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan and President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan have openly criticized the French President. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan said Islam is religion of peace and the Muslims respect all the religions. He said the entire Muslim Ummah demands to remove the caricatures at the earliest and the French President’s unconditional apology to all the Muslims across the globe.
