Students protest Danish cartoons
 Students from various colleges protested on Saturday, against the blasphemous cartoons of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) published in European newspapers and demanded that the Danish ambassador be ousted from Pakistan. | Daily Times forgot the sneer quotes around "students". |
Students from Government Commerce College, Government College Peshawar and Islamia College Peshawar gathered in front of the Peshawar Press Club and held protests in front of the Governors House. The protesters carried placards and banners, which said, punishment for this crime is death and the person involved in this heinous crime should be brought to the International court of justice.
| Ummm... There's an international statute about drawing cartoons? |
The students demanded the government recall its diplomatic mission and cancel all diplomatic ties with Denmark.
| Good idea. Then Denmark can toss all the Paks within its borders. |
However, for the first time in the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amals history, it did not abide by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, MMAs central general secretary, directives. Despite a countrywide call by Fazlur Rehman for MMA activists to protest over the publication of cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PTUI peace be upon him) in the European newspapers, none of the religious parties responded. Hafiz Attique, Jamaat-e-Islamis (JI) provincial secretary (information) told Daily Times that JI had scheduled a protest rally on Friday to express solidarity with Kashmir.
