Updated at 1410 PST
ISLAMABAD: The Senate here on Tuesday passed a unanimous resolution strongly condemning the British government for awarding knighthood to Salman Rushdi who insulted Islam and hurt feelings of the Muslim Ummah by writing a blasphemous book.
The Leader of the House in Senate, Wasim Sajjad moved the resolution.
In the unanimous resolution, the Senate strongly condemned the British government for granting the title of 'Sir' to Salman Rushdi and the Senate of Pakistan representing the sentiments of the people of Pakistan demanded that the knighthood conferred on Salman Rushdi be withdrawn.
According to the resolution, the Senate of Pakistan expressed its annoyance over blatant disregard for the sentiments of the Muslims by the British government by awarding knighthood to Salman Rushdi , who committed blasphemy against Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).
This is time to create better understanding between people of different faiths and promote interfaith harmony, the resolution said.
It added that such steps as granting knighthood to Salman Rushdi would create further cleavage in relations between the West and Islam.
