Muslims around the world, including in Pakistan, have been reacting sharply to 'insulting statements' made by two leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India about the Prophet of Islam (PBUH).
India has been sharply criticized in this regard and an apology is being sought from it, while a 'boycott India' as well as a boycott campaign of Indian products is being launched.
In this context, some countries, including Kuwait, have already banned Indian products.
Criticism of India began yesterday when a number of Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, reacted by calling the statements of BJP leaders "Islamophobic".
Pakistan's upper house, the Senate, has decided to protest in front of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad over the blasphemous remarks made by two leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party about the Prophet of Islam(PBUH).
In a meeting chaired by Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on Monday, the Senate Chairman himself said, "We will go and protest on this issue in front of the Indian High Commission."
He said that on Friday, after the prayers, the senators would walk from Parliament to the Indian High Commission and protest there.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had said in a tweet that "I condemn in the strongest terms the statement made about our beloved Prophet."
"We have repeatedly said that under Modi's rule, India is violating religious freedom and treating Muslims badly," he said.

India's response
India has not made any statement or response to the criticism and condemnation from other countries. However, India has definitely commented on the statements of the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Foreign Ministry.
In this regard, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs in a statement on its website has answered the questions asked about Pakistan.
"We have taken note of the statements and comments," Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arundam Bagchi said in response to questions about the statements made by the Pakistani prime minister and the foreign ministry that: in a number of violations of the rights of minorities and it was no secret that his statement on the treatment of minorities in another country was ridiculous.
According to the Indian spokesperson, "the world is aware of the systematic oppression of minorities in Pakistan, including Hindus, Sikhs, Ahmadis and Christians."
The spokesman said: "The Indian government respects all religions at the highest level. The situation here is not like in Pakistan, where extremists are praised and monuments are erected.
"We urge Pakistan to focus on the safety, security and well-being of its minority communities instead of sounding alarm bells and trying to sow discord among communities in India."
