PM asked OIC to chalk out strategy against rising incidents of Islamophobia.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Friday stressed the need for a coordinated and comprehensive response strategy by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to generate international awareness about the sentiments of Muslim Ummah and build deterrence against such incidents.

He asked OIC to chalk out a coordinated and comprehensive strategy, aimed at raising global awareness about its perspective and building legal and political deterrence against rising incidents of anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobia.

In a tweet on social media platform Twitter, he said, “I had a useful and detailed telephonic conversation this afternoon with my brother, Ambassador Hissein Ibrahim Taha, Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) about the recurring incidents of public burning of the Holy Quran.”

“I conveyed Pakistan’s strong condemnation of these Islamophobic acts and stressed the need for a coordinated and comprehensive response strategy by the OIC to generate international awareness about the sentiments of Muslim Ummah and build deterrence against such incidents.”
