Condemning an anti-Islam film that has triggered violent protests across the Muslim world, Pakistan government has decided to observe the coming Friday as ‘Love the Prophet Day’. It has been declared as the National Holiday by the government.
PM Raja Pervez Ashraf called on people to protest peacefully against the film on September 21, which is being observed as ‘Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool’ or ‘Love the Prophet Day’.
“I intend that a message should go to the world that the federal cabinet of Pakistan strongly condemns this sacrilegious film which has created unrest amongst Muslims. At this moment, I call upon the people of Pakistan to register their protest peacefully but to observe restraint and not to damage their own property,” Ashraf said.
