While addressing the Seerat-un-Nabi (SAWW) Conference, here on Thursday, Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the center of love and devotion for the Muslims. The Muslim Ummah has been offering Durood-e-Salam to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) at every moment for centuries to express gratitude for this great blessing of Allah Almighty and this process will continue forever, he added. He said the UN should enact strict legislation to stop the publication of blasphemous images.
Talking to media, the governor said: “India is conspiring against peace in Balochistan and other provinces of the country; India is the enemy of Pakistan and all political and religious parties should unite against it on every forum.” He said the opposition may hold protests and rallies, but they should not engage in politics and rhetoric on national security issues.
Answering a question, he said the opposition does not want to solve national issues; it only wants to overthrow the government, but the government will not go anywhere until 2023.
He said that 220 million Pakistanis are proud of the armed forces of Pakistan who are eradicating terrorism from the country and also ensuring the defense of the country's borders. Today, there is a need for all political and religious parties to stand with the security forces for security and complete elimination of terrorism.
