KARACHI: On the call of Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan, protest demos were held across the Sindh province against the desecration of the Holy Quran by US pastor Terry Jones in Florida.
The protest demos were held in various cities including Karachi, Sukkur, Larkana, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Nawabshah, Tando Adam, Shikarpur and others.
The participants of the demos condemned the desecration of the Holy Quran by devilish US pastor Terry Jones. Holding copies of the Quran in their hands, the protestors vowed to lay down their lives to protect the sanctity of the Divine Book.
Addressing the demos, leaders of JI Sindh, Asadullah Bhutto, Mohammed Hussain Mehnti and others said that desecration of the Holy Quran by the US pastor has given the message to Muslims to come out from their deep slumber and actively play their role for safeguarding the Islamic values themselves, instead of relying on their enslaved rulers. They said that the act of the evil pastor had hurt the feelings of Muslims. They said he should be handed down a death sentence for blasphemy and hurting sentiments of Muslims.
In Islamabad, the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) also condemned the desecration of the Holy Quran by Terry Jones and said that the fanatic act posed a serious threat to religious harmony and urged the government of Pakistan to force America to punish Jones for this heinous crime that humiliated the sentiments of Muslims throughout the world.
APML office bearers arranged a special meeting here on Friday at the Central Secretariat of APML to denounce the desecration.
