The joint declaration noted that the incidents of desecration of the Holy Quran at the Guantanamo bay prison, US Pastor Terry Jones condemnable attempt to set on fire copy of the Holy Quran and the repeated publications of blasphemous caricatures in Denmark, Holland, and France, and other western countries were being ignored as freedom of expression and opinion while any criticism on an individual, constitution, flag and the Zionist holocaust had been prohibited and declared a crime which clearly showed double standards.
The APC condemned the terrorist act in the Punjab capital, leading to five deaths and injuries to others. The leaders of all parties prayed for the early recovery of the injured and expressed full sympathies with the bereaved families.
