London 4, February  2006

The MQM leader Mr. Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the publication of a cartoon in various newspapers desecrating prophet Mohammad (PBUH). He termed such actions as provocative and uncivilized. Mr. Hussain pointed out that no religion condones desecration of revered personalities of other religions and this publication has hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims worldwide. It is a disgraceful act and perpetrators of such evil are not doing any service to mankind. Mr. Altaf Hussain appealed to the government of Pakistan to lodge a strong protest internationally against this disgraceful act. He appealed to the leaders of the world to take firm actions against the perpetrators of this evil so that we do not witness a repeat of such revolting publication.
