Pakistan condemned in strongest terms the publication of a blasphemous sketch of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a Swedish newspaper 'Nerikes Allehanda' in Orebro city on Thursday.
Sweden's Charge d'Affaires was summoned to the foreign office by additional secretary (Europe) and strong protest was lodged with him, a foreign office press release said. The Swedish Charge d'Affaires was told that the publication of sketch had caused grave affront to the religious sentiments of Muslims.
"The government of Pakistan expects greater sensitivity on part of Swedish government on this issue," the Swedish diplomat was told.
