The government will observe Youm-e-Taqaddus-e-Quran on Friday to hold countrywide protest demonstrations against the desecration of Holy Quran in Sweden.

The decision was made in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad to discuss the issue of desecration of Holy Quran in Sweden.

The prime minister appealed for participation in the protest to convey a united message to the mischievous minds.

Besides, a joint session of the parliament will also be held tomorrow to formulate a national strategy on the issue which will also adopt a resolution to condemn desecration of the Holy Quran.
