Doha, 05 June 2022 (MOFA Qatar)
Dr. Majed Mohammed Al Ansari, Adviser to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Sunday that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Ambassador of India to the State of Qatar Dr. Deepak Mittal and handed him an official note, expressing Qatar's total rejection of the statements of an official in the ruling party in India against the Prophet Mohammed (may blessings and peace be upon him).
Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), AlAnsari said that the State of Qatar calls on the Indian government to immediately condemn these remarks and publicly apologize to all Muslims in the world. Also, he stressed the danger of empowering hate speech and Islamophobic discourse in a country that Islam and Muslims have clearly contributed to its civilized development and today they represent a large percentage of its citizens.
Dr. Al Ansari underlined that whoever made these statements is undoubtedly ignorant of the position of the Prophet Mohammed (may blessings and peace be upon him) among Muslims and their veneration of him, and that attacking him is a deliberate provocation of the feelings of all Muslims.
The Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the State of Qatar welcomed the statement issued by the ruling party in India in which it announced the suspension of the party's official from practicing his activities in the party due to his remarks that angered all Muslims around the world, pointing out that allowing such Islamophobic remarks to continue without punishment, constitutes a grave danger to the protection of human rights and may lead to further prejudice and marginalization, which will create a cycle of violence and hate

Highly appreciated...
Such kind of rection should also come from all Heads of Islamic States.
Will Nawaz Sharif give such kind of statement to whom Modi is his best friend ? I firmly believe not! Same is the case with his daughter Maryam Safdar
