Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan promotes international ban on criticism defamation of Islam religions

It will come as no surprise if the Trudeaupian Canadian Parliament, with the possible exception of some members from Quebec, supports this. As reported by Asim Malik of the Pakistani television network Aaj News, November 20, 2018:

Prime Minister Imran Khan says Pakistan will spearhead efforts to get passed an international convention on preventing defamation of religions.

Addressing international Ramatul-lil-Alimeen Conference in Islamabad on Tuesday, he said nobody can be allowed to hurt the sentiments of billions of Muslims under the garb of freedom of speech.

Imran Khan said he will appoint an international law expert Ahmar Bilal Sufi as his special envoy to visit different countries to contact different experts and leaders to get the convention passed.

He said the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) achieved this distinct target not through mobilizing resources but inculcating a spirit in His followers to serve the humanity with selflessness.

The Prime Minister regretted that some elements in the West and Europe are indulging in blasphemous acts time and again on the pretext freedom of expression provoking the Muslim Ummah across the globe.

He said when a chain of reaction comes in the Muslim world; the same Western and European nations dub the Muslims as terrorists and extremists through their propaganda machines.

The Prime Minister also urged the religious scholars and intellectuals to promote true teachings of Islam.

He directed the Higher Education Commission to set up special chairs on Seerat un Nabi (SAWW) at three different universities ensuring a specific research on the life, character, and teachings of the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW).

He said it will help educate and enlighten our new generation as to how our holy Prophet (SAWW) carved out the first ever Islamic welfare state of Madina Munawwara.

The Prime Minister reaffirmed the commitment to transform Pakistan into a modern Islamic welfare state in line with the Islamic teachings and idealogy of its forefathers.
