On Tuesday, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif presided over a meeting at which it was decided that nationwide protest demonstrations would be staged on Friday to condemn this atrocity.
The Prime Minister urged the entire nation to join the protest and deliver a united voice condemning such heinous deeds. In addition, the administration will hold a joint session of parliament on Thursday to develop a strategy and convey the nation’s views and feelings through the parliament.

The joint session, which was originally set for Monday evening, will also pass a resolution denouncing the desecration of the Holy Quran. PM Sharif emphasised that nations and leaders who value peace and cooperation must overcome Islamophobia and religious biases. He emphasised that those with a violent mindset who target faiths, sacred figures, ideas, and ideologies endanger global peace.
In reaction to global indignation and demonstrations over the burning of the Holy Quran, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) granted Pakistan’s request and called an emergency session to discuss Islamophobia and religious hate.
During a press conference, a UN Council spokesperson in Geneva stated that the session would primarily focus on the growing religious hatred around the world. The current session’s agenda, which finishes on 14 July, will be altered to incorporate the urgent debate requested by Pakistan.
