ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua on Thursday summoned the Dutch ambassador to the Foreign Office in Islamabad and lodged a strong protest on the blasphemous tweets by the Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders.

The foreign secretary conveyed deep concern and disappointment of the government and people of Pakistan on continued and deliberate malicious attempts of the Dutch Parliamentarian to hurt the sentiments of hundreds of millions across the world.

   

Tehmina Janjua underscored that such acts cannot be allowed with impunity under the pretext of freedom of expression. These discriminatory incidents spread hate and intolerance and provoke extremism and violence, which were prohibited under human rights laws and standards.

The foreign secretary called upon the Dutch government to condemn and take suitable measures to counter and prevent such actions from taking place.

The Dutch ambassador assured that concerns of government and people of Pakistan would be conveyed to the concerned authorities in the Netherlands.
