"We not only deem it the essence of our faith but also a pride for us to lay down our lives to protect the sanctity and grace of our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)," he added.
Khosa said, the objective of the observance of Youm-e- Ishq-e-Rasool was to lodge our protest and anger at international level and make realize those unscrupulous elements that any kind of profanity and disrespect of the Holy Prophet Muhammd (PBUH) shell not be tolerated. The Muslim's belief is incomplete until and unless he/she upholds and prefer the love for the Holy Prophet over his/her parents, brothers, sisters and relatives, he maintained.
Khosa said the sacrilegious movie has not only hurt the sentiments of entire Muslim Ummah but also endangered the world peace, adding that Muslim does not refrain from laying down their lives for the respect and dignity of the Holy Prophet.

bring a resolution in this regard. (2) Condemnation resolutions be presented in all the
assemblies (parliaments) of Pakistan. (3) The United Nations must bring a resolution for taking to
task those resorted to sacrilege (of the Holy Prophet).
The Governor said that Pakistan government by declaring the Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool (PBUH) at this critical juncture had shown solidarity with the Muslim World. "We want to give a message to international community that Islam is the religion of peace and the disrespect of the prophets and supreme personality of any religion is altogether an inhuman, unnatural and immoral act. Therefore, the international community must play its role in curbing such anti-human acts in future to maintain the world peace."
