ISLAMABAD: Witnessing unrest amid parts of Pakistan, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday stated that Pakistan can only progress by adhering to the golden principles of Islam, media reported.
Addressing the nation through a video message, the PM said that Pakistan is the only country created in the name of Islam after the state of Madina Munawwara and could only move forward by following Islamic principles.
“Pakistan has no future other than becoming an Islamic Welfare State,” said Imran Khan.
About the Supreme Court decision in the case of Asia Bibi, the PM said that the SC decision was in line with the Constitution of Pakistan and the constitution is in line with Islamic principles.
“This (PTI) government has done against blasphemy which no other government could do, when a Dutch MP announced to exhibit blasphemous caricatures, we raised our voice on all forums and then the Dutch MP had to withdraw his announcement,” added PM Imran Khan.
He maintained that the PTI government not only raised the issue with Dutch ambassador and foreign minister but our foreign minister spoke about the issue in his speech at United Nations General Assembly.
Khan also asked the general public not to pay heed to a “small group of people” urging people to revolt against the state and remain peaceful.
The PM, however, warned all those violently protesting against the SC decision to stop their activities or else the “state will have to take action”.
