The development comes after a man, who fled from Iraq to Sweden several years ago, tore up and burned the Holy Quran outside Stockholm’s central mosque last week as Muslims around the world began marking the Eidul Azha holiday.
According to a statement issued today from the Prime Minister’s Office, PM Shehbaz presided over an important meeting in which the Sweden incident was taken up as well.
The prime minister decided that July 7 (Friday) would be marked as a day to uphold the Quran’s sanctity and a nationwide protest would be taken out against the Sweden incident.
Earlier Imran Khan has also appealed to the nation for the same cause through a message in Social media.
