Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan Monday appreciated Russian President Vladimir Putin for his remark asserting that disrespect of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) did not count as an expression of freedom but was in fact a gross “violation of religious freedom”, APA reports citing Pakistan Today.
In his annual press conference in December, Putin observed these acts give rise to extremist reprisals, citing as an example the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical weekly, in Paris after its publication of blasphemous cartoons of the prophet.
