Pakistan has done a great thing by summoning the French envoy and questioning him about the blasphemous drawings of the Holy Prophet published in a French magazine. Not only was the cartoon published, in fact, it was appreciated and celebrated by the French President. The Foreign Office (FO) on Monday summoned the French ambassador, Marc Baréty, to lodge a “strong protest” against the publication of blasphemous sketches and recent comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron. In a statement, FO Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said that the ambassador was handed over a dossier by the special secretary (Europe). The ambassador was told about Pakistan’s condemnation of the publication of blasphemous sketches and the comments later made by Macron, the spokesperson said.
