Pakistan’s PM calls on world leaders to take steps against Islamophobia
Prime Minister Imran Khan has once again called on world leaders to crack down on hate speech and extremism on social media in the wake of growing Islamophobia, as this divides the humanity.
The prime minister said these websites, which divide the human beings, by creating hatred, ignorant about the other human community, target them and this hate material, especially with growing social media, is the new phenomenon.
He continued, while there are so many benefits of social media, but unfortunately, the particular one i.e. the hate websites, which create hatred among human beings, there must be an international action against them.
In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), while speaking on the increasing incidents of Islamophobia and the recent one, targeting Muslim families in London, Ontario, Canada, the prime minister said, “The incident in which a Pakistani family was targeted has had a profound effect in Pakistan.”
“Rising incidences of extremism and Islamophobia in the West require that world leaders take this issue seriously and take strong action to prevent it,” he said. Imran said that strict action should be taken at the international level against the websites which spread hatred.
