Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Friday has welcomed the statement of the Russian President Vladimir Putin in respect of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
In a tweet, the premier wrote “he ‘welcomes’ the perspective of Russian President which mentions Insults to the prophet are rather a violation of religious freedom and the violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam.”
I welcome President Putin’s statement which reaffirms my message that insulting our Holy Prophet PBUH is not ” freedom of expression”. We Muslims, esp Muslim leaders, must spread this message to leaders of the non-Muslim world to counter Islamophobia. https://t.co/JUKKvRYBSx
