Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday directed the authorities concerned to take all possible measures to block blasphemous content on the social media.
Terming blasphemous content on the social media as a “nefarious attempt to play with the emotions of Muslims,” Sharif directed authorities to take effective measures to remove all blasphemous content from social media and prevent any such content from circulating on the digital space in future.
He instructed authorities to track down those circulating blasphemous content on social media.
“All [concerned] institutions should trace the perpetrators behind such content and ensure they are handed out strict punishment in accordance with the law,” the PM said.
The PM said the feelings of Muslims, when it comes to the honour of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), must be respected.
