FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The protesters took to the streets in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, situated 150 kilometers (93 miles) west of the Pakistani capital Islamabad, on Thursday, shouting anti-US slogans.
They also carried placards in condemnation of the sacrilege of Holy Qur’an at the US military’s Bagram Airbase, located 11 kilometers (7 miles) southeast of the city of Charikar in Afghanistan’s northern province of Parwan.
The protest rally comes as the UN has joined Afghan President Hamid Karzai in calling for disciplinary action against those, who committed the acts of desecration.
“Only after this, after such a disciplinary action, can the international forces say ‘yes, we’re sincere in our apology’,” Jan Kubis, the special representative for the UN secretary-general in Afghanistan, told a news conference in the Afghan capital Kabul on Thursday.
Karzai demanded on February 24 that the Qur’an burners — whom he said were American forces — be put on public trial and punished.
More than 30 people have been killed in anti-US demonstrations across Afghanistan since they began on February 21.
Experts say the desecration of the Holy Qur’an underscores the insensitivity of the US-led forces about Afghanistan’s cultural and religious values and rituals, more than 10 years after they invaded the Asian nation to remove the Taliban militants from power.
