On the appeal of the Pakistan Sunni Movement tens of thousands of people have poured onto the streets in twin cities to strongly condemn the burning of a copy of the Holy Qur’an, Islam’s most revered book, by a Swedish extremist in Sweden.
Demonstrators took part in a mass rally from Pakistan Sunni Tehreek’s District Secretariat Chowk Peshawar Road on Friday to express their outrage over the sacrilegious act and censure the silence and inaction of some muslim countries in the face of the move, press release reported.
The rally was taken out from Pakistan Sunni Tehreek’s District Secretariat Chowk Peshawar Road to GPO Chowk Saddar which was led by Provincial General Secretary North Punjab Allama Tahiraqeel Chishti and District President Rawalpindi Allama Imran Nizami.
They also chanted slogans such as “Quran has its own supporters,” “Oppressors will be disgraced,” “Burning Qur’an is an act of aggression,” “God’s enemies burned the Qur’an”, and “O Muslims, unite and do not be afraid of enemies’ deception.”
