Khan’s strategy: PM Khan said that his way to solve the issue of blasphemy is to take all the head of the Muslim states into confidence. ‘Together, we should should ask Europe, the European Union and United Nations to stop hurting the feelings of 1.25 billion Muslim like they do not do in case of Jews.’

He further said that ‘I want the Muslims countries to devise a joint line of action over blasphemy issues with a warning of trade boycott of countries where such incidents will happen. This will be the most effective way to achieve the goal.’
