No Muslim can tolerate even the slightest blasphemy in the name of his Holy Prophet. This is part of our faith and belief.Minority leader Haaso Mal said that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was sent as a mercy not only to any religion but to the whole universe by the evil elements in India who showed this tragic act. The speakers called for a boycott of Indian products until the country abandons its anti-Muslim stance. No religion allows insulting the religious beliefs of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in India.The government should immediately end all diplomatic and trade relations with India, expel the ambassadors and take steps at the international level to punish the perpetrators of insolence as severely as possible.
It should be remembered that last week, the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal, the BJP’s Delhi media head, made insulting remarks about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), triggering a wave of condemnation at home and from the Islamic world.
