The federal government must launch a crackdown on terrorists rather than protecting them, said Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) Chairman MNA Haji Fazle Karim on Wednesday.
Addressing a Tahaffuz Namoos-i-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) rally on The Mall, held in protest against an anti-Islam movie, he said the Taliban were weakening Pakistan. He said the citizens of Pakistan wanted the Pakistan of Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal, not that of the Taliban.
Some 2,000 people joined the rally, marching from Nasser Bagh to the Punjab Assembly building. They waved flags of Sunni Tehreek, the SIC, and Idara Sirat-i-Mustaqeem and chanted slogans against the federal government and America.
Karim hailed Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed killer of former governor Salmaan Taseer.
He said if killing to protect the “honour” of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was illegal, Quaid-i-Azam would not have represented Ghazi Ilmuddin Shaheed in court.
He criticised the United Nations, saying it was biased against Muslims all over the world. He said the UN should push for legislation to protect the respect for prophets and religious books.
Sunni Tehreek head Sarwat Ijaz Qadri said Mumtaz Qadri was “our hero” and MQM chief Altaf Hussain should not dare to criticise him. He said Hussain was “the terrorist of Karachi” and was answerable for the murders of thousands of people in that city.
He said Muslim countries should stop selling oil to America. That was the only way to stop the drone attacks in Pakistan, he said.
Jamia Naeemia head Allama Raghib Naeemi said the UN should force member states to pass legislation to stop blasphemy. He urged the protesters to boycott US products available in Pakistan to compel the country to stop blasphemous acts.

Question,herein before us is that the law called ''freedom of expression''allow Americans to speak lie? Whether Americans committe perjury? the world constitutions and laws not permite any one to speak lie or commite perjury.
What happened, a man, who have no right calling himself humabeing made film on a baseless fabricated story which has no concerned with history and historical facts.
Film maker,in fact is a basecally satan,he by his satatic act ignited Muslims hearts and resulting in remarkable lives has been lost, Lovers of the last prophet(pbuh) offered their live and still ready to offer more lives,they understand martyrdom is better than life.
Film maker,actors and directors to whom American governmentproviding safety must be tried,bring them to court,International Court of Justice. The crime has been committed by them dose not come in the domain of ''freedom of expression''it is cospiracy unearthed by notable scholars and international leaders and Media has also exposed the conspiracy is also deserv admiration
The full team ,responsible for making the highly objectionable film must be tried,convicted and punished under the law to be newly enacted by the United Nations until unless accused remained in custody of this global institution.
These parties are really the heroes of Pakistan. The work done by them for the last so many years is excellent. But unfortunately no serious action has been taken by our government against Anti-Islamic movie.
