Earlier in the day, Pakistan issued a strong demarche to the Indian Charge d’ Affaires in Islamabad over the Islamophobic event. The official was told that these remarks are “totally unacceptable and have not only deeply hurt the sentiments of the people of Pakistan but of Muslims across the world”.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif late Sunday strongly condemned the hurtful comments of India’s ruling party leader about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He also called on the international community to take note and severely reprimand India. Our love for the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is supreme. All Muslims can sacrifice their life for the Love & Respect of their Holy Prophet (PBUH), Sharif said.
Meanwhile, several Arab countries summoned the Indian ambassador and protested offensive comments by the BJP leader against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Several trends were also seen on social media in Arab countries as Muslims demand action beyond the suspension of BJP leaders. Amid the outcry, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has suspended its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
Modi-led Indian ruling party also clarified that it respected all beliefs and denounced disparaging remarks against any religious personality.
