Maulana Nasr Javed, central Leader Jamat’ud’Dawah Pakistan, has said that after airing baseless propaganda against the Armed Forces of Pakistan, Geo TV has yet again hurt the feelings of Pakistanis by blaspheming against the family and household of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all). It is an extremely shameful act to compare the pious souls of Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Fatima (may Allah have mercy upon them) to actors and actresses.
Maulana Nasr was addressing thousands of men and women who had come to offer the Friday prayers at Masjid Khyber, Nishatabad, Faisalabad. He appealed to the government and political leadership not to ignore or remain quiet about this issue. Furthermore, employees of Geo TV should resign immediately and thereby give proof of their devotion and love for the Prophet. At the same time, patriotic TV channels should arrange jobs for them, loving and honouring the household of the Prophet (SAW) is an inseparable part of our faith
Pakistan was formed on the basis of Islam, and it has no place for channels that are devoted to maligning its defense institutions, and blaspheming against the family of Prophet. The people of Pakistan expect a ban on Geo TV from the government, and their patience should not be tested further. Moreover, he explained that we are duty-bound to defend Pakistan’s ideology and PEMRA should therefore take strong actions to eliminate lewdness and false propaganda from Pakistani media once and for all. The blasphemy against the household and family of the Prophet (peace be upon them all) has offended a great many Pakistanis.
“Tehrik-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool” has responded strongly against the recent blasphemy of Geo TV against the household and family of Prophet, strict action must be taken against Geo by the government , starting with an immediate closure of the TV channel, and suspension said that comparing the actress and her husband, whose past is well-known by the public, with the pious personalities of Hazrat Fatima and Hazrat Ali was an offensive act that no true Muslim can tolerate. This act of blasphemy cannot be considered a mistake as no apology was rendered by Geo TV even after 24 hours of the broadcast. Blasphemy against the Prophet or his family is of a grave nature, it is not permissible under Islamic law for anyone to forgive the perpetrators and only Allah has the authority to judge such an act. A mere apology will not do and The state is under responsibility to award the due penalty to the blasphemer.
He also added that Geo TV has been involved in such acts in the past as well and the government should therefore make no compromises. Nourishing the Prophet, his family and companions are part of our faith and the public has eyes fixed on the government in expectation that they will protect the hon our of our esteemed religious figures, fulfill their responsibility and bring Geo Tv to justice.
