Deploring the silence of western countries against the blasphemy acts, they termed it a “criminal negligence” which was equally against the concept of freedom. They warned that Muslims will not allow these powers to humiliate them in the name of freedom of expression. Because it was not the matter of freedom of expression but it was the freedom of hurting sentiments of Muslim world.

They urged the peace loving people of the country and around the globe to voiced the concern and pressurize the elements engaged to stop the blasphemy activities before it became too-late. They further observed that the fringe elements behind this anti-Islamic blasphemous work possess only motive to wedge apart different sections of the society and create hatred. “People should see through the designs of such elements and remain calm while expressing their anger”. We share the feelings and grief of the people and condemn the act vehemently”, they said and appealed people to maintain calm and not to get provoked as the people behind this anti-social and anti-human act want to disturb peace and create disturbance.
