ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said a high level committee will meet the leadership of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) today to inform them about the measures taken by the government against blasphemous caricatures competition in the Netherlands.
The committee comprises Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Religious Minister Sahibzada Noorul Haq Qadri, Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat and the information minister himself.
The minister, in a statement, said Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi would also inform the TLP leadership about his communication with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
Fawad said every Muslim had same feelings against the blasphemous caricatures competition and unity among the Ummah was crucial to defend the sanctity of Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).
He stressed the need for evolving a comprehensive strategy to effectively and peacefully resolve the matter through dialogue.
The TLP started its march from Lahore to Islamabad on Wednesday against Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders’ announcement to hold a competition of blasphemous caricatures. The TLP had demanded expulsion of the Netherlands’ ambassador to Pakistan from the country, but it remains unfulfilled as yet.
