LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has strongly condemned encouragement of blasphemous caricatures in France. In a strong-worded statement issued here on Monday, the CM termed it as the most abhorrent and profane move to hurt the sentiments of the Muslims adding that there is no room for such a disgusting act in any civilized society. "No one can even think of mocking the Prophets and any act of disrespecting the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), in the garb of freedom of expression, is totally beyond the pale," the CM announced.

Moreover, provincial Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Rai Taimur Khan Bhatti called on Chief Minister Usman Buzdar at his office and presented the two-year departmental performance report and sports newsletter. The CM appreciated the performance and directed to work for promotion of sports activities.
