Amir Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) Hafiz Muhammad Saeed has asked the Muslims across the globe to boycott French commodities in a protest against publication of sacrilegious caricatures of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) by French magazine Charlie Hebdo. He was addressing the historical Hurmat-e-Rasool March organised by Tehreek Hurmat-e-Rasool from Nasir Bagh to Masjid-e-Shooda, the Mall on Sunday.
Thousands of lawyers, students and members of civil society also participated in the historical march. About 2,000 volunteers of Jamaat-e-Dawah performed security duties at the march. Protestors, carrying placards and banners, showed their rage and chanted slogans against the United Nations and France and demanded death plenty for blasphemers.
Speaking on the occasion, Hafiz Saeed said that United Nation should declare blasphemy terrorism and pass an intentional law against it, and if it failed to do so, Muslim countries should sever ties with it and developed a Muslim Union. He believed that the legislation against blasphemy be given more importance than the war against terrorism
He demanded that Pakistani government should raise the issue at the forum of Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC). The international community must ensure that such caricatures are not published again, he added.
