FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The demonstrators, including seminary students, clerics and members of Jamiat Ahle Hadith religio-political party, staged a massive protest rally in downtown Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, on Thursday, and slammed Qur’an desecration, shouting anti-US slogans.
They also carried placards in condemnation of the sacrilege of the Holy Qur’an at the US military base in Bagram, in Afghanistan’s northern province of Parwan, and called on Islamabad to sever all forms of relationship with Washington.
“This is not the first Qur’an desecration incident. Many such events have taken in the past and have hurt Muslims’ feelings …. This is not acceptable,” a protester said.
The protest rally comes a day after hundreds of university students staged a similar demonstration in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, situated 150 kilometers (93 miles) west of the capital, Islamabad.
Anti-American rallies were also held by students and civil society activists in Rawalpindi and Abbottabad.
Afghan President Karzai demanded on February 24 that Qur’an burners — whom he said were American soldiers — be put on public trial and punished.
