Shujaat wants govt to lodge strong protest with US

LAHORE, Sept 15: PML-Q President Senator Chaudhry Shujaat Husain has termed strong reaction of the Muslims all over the world against anti-Islam video natural.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, Chaudhry Shujaat said Pakistan was created in the name of Islam and the government should react very strongly against the film. “YouTube should immediately be stopped throughout the country and the foreign ministry should summon the US ambassador and lodge a strong protest with him because this is a matter concerning faith of every Muslim.”

He said on this condemnable act not only the US and YouTube officials should have immediately extended apology to the Muslims all over the world but also taken action against those who authored and filmed it.

“Those indulging in such condemnable and deplorable activities cannot be pardoned from any religion’s point of view,” Shujaat said adding in the western countries no action was taken against such people in the name of religion and freedom of expression and as a result extremist elements felt encouraged.
