Nisar meets British counterpart in London

LONDON: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Monday held a meeting with his British counterpart Theresa May and discussed matters of bilateral and mutual interest.

Talking during the meeting the Interior Minister said the West must do more to stop the spread of Islamophobia.

He said democracy and freedom of speech in no way give a license to anybody to humiliate Muslims distort their religious beliefs and make jest of their religious personalities.

He said war against extremism can only be won through global unity and those spreading Islamophobia are the biggest divisive factor in stopping the international community from coming together.
