“Its my promise to my nation that I will launch a campaign that will not allow anyone in this world to dishonour our Holy Prophet”, Prime Minister Imran Khan said in a speech. Khan said that burning your own country will not affect those who are dishonouring Prophets Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be Upon Him).

When we destroy our own country it won’t affect those who are doing blasphemy but when Muslim leaders will unite, it will create an impact that will be effective and this will be the real change.
