LAHORE Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) emir Senator Sirajul Haq has demanded a special session of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) on the issue of desecration of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBHU) through a caricature contest in Holland.
Slating the competition of profane caricatures, Mr Haq called for an immediate meeting of the OIC to devise a mechanism to stop the Satanic pursuits.
He said the Muslims could not tolerate desecration of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and added that summoning the Dutch ambassador and lodging protest on this issue was not enough.
He was speaking at the 77th foundation day of the party here.
Referring to international establishment’s alleged opposition to the rule of the Muslim movements across the world, he said the world colonialism was not allowing Islamic movements to come to power even through democratic process and the toppling of Dr Morsi’s elected government in Egypt and the West’s refusal to accept victory of Hamas in Palestine election were the irrefutable proofs of the conspiracy.
Sirajul Haq said that in spite of hostility of the international establishment, the JI was against securing power through undemocratic or underground means.
JI deputy chief Dr Farid Ahmed Piracha, Pildat’s president Ahmed Bilal Mehboob and Zikrullah Mujahid also spoke.
