CM Punjab Strongly Condemns Blasphemous Caricatures in France

Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has strongly condemned encouragement of blasphemous caricatures in France. In a strong-worded statement issued here on Monday, the CM termed it as the most abhorrent and profane move to hurt the sentiments of the Muslims adding that there is no room for such a disgusting act in any civilized society. No one can even think of mocking the Prophets and any act of disrespecting the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), in the garb of freedom of expression, is totally beyond the pale, the CM announced. Usman Buzdar reemphasised that utmost reverence and respect of the last Prophet of Allah Almighty, Hazrat Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is the part and parcel of the faith of all the Muslims around the world. How can the freedom of expression be ensured by hurting the religious sentiments of the crores of Muslims, he enquired. This move has strongly disturbed the Muslims and no one should be allowed to play with the religious sentiments of others in the guise of freedom of expression, concluded the chief minister.
