A group of protesters, allegedly from the PTI, violated the sanctity of Madinah’s Masjid-e-Nabawi on Thursday by chanting anti-Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his delegation slogans as they entered the mosque to pay their respects at the Roza-e-Rasool (PBUH). PM Shehbaz and his delegation arrived in Saudi Arabia on Thursday at the invitation of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz. Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Finance Minister Miftah Ismail, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, Shahzain Bugti, Mohsin Dawar, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqi, Chaudhry Salik, and four members of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s staff will accompany the prime minister on his visit. When PM Shehbaz and his delegation arrived at the mosque, protesters began chanting “chor, chor (thieves)” and harassed and raised objectionable slogans against Marriyum Aurangzeb. حرم مدینہ تمام امت کےلیےادب گاہ ھےاوریہاں اونچی آوازبھی قران وسنت کی تعلیمات کےمطابق صرف آداب کےخلاف ھی نہیں بلکہ حبط اعمال کاسبب بھی بنتاھےجوآج حرمِ مدنی میں ھوااس سےذیادہ حرم کی توھین اورنہیں ھوسکتی۔ جولوگ رسول اللہ کے گھرکی حرمت کاپاس نہیں رکھ سکتےوہ انکےنام لیواکیسےھونگے؟1/3 — Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman (@MoulanaOfficial) April 28, 2022 Social media videos of the unfortunate incident have since gone viral. Meanwhile, protesters taunted and pulled the hair of JWP leader and Federal Minister for Narcotics Control Shahzain Bugti. Protesters continued to film the entire incident on their cellphones. “I respect Mecca and Medina a lot,” Bugti said of the incident. “No one can speak in a loud voice there.” Those who made derogatory remarks about Marriyum Aurangzeb are still alive, so the news of their arrest is false.” In response to the unfortunate incident, Aurangzeb said, without naming Imran Khan but clearly referring to him, “I don’t want to name the person responsible for this incident because I don’t want to use this holy land for political purposes.” “However, it will take time for us to repair the damage that these people have done to our society, and we can only do so by maintaining a positive attitude.” She went on to say that the PML-leadership N’s had instructed its employees to control their emotions. Following the incident, political and religious leaders, as well as members of various social groups, expressed their outrage and strongly condemned the chanting of political slogans at Masjid-e-Nabwi. آج مسجد نبوی میں احتجاج کی صورت میں جو حرم شریف کی پامالی کی گئی یہ بالکل اسلام میں درست نہیں ہے، اسکی جتنی بھی مذمت کی جائے کم ہے۔ #توہین_مسجد_نبوی_نامنظور — Tariq Jamil (@TariqJamilOFCL) April 28, 2022 Friend of Imran khan Sahibzada Jahangir with his three friends Arrested by Saudi Arabian Police.#توہین_مسجد_نبوی_نامنظور pic.twitter.com/e426uywg1z — Mian Haseeb (@hmm1095) April 28, 2022
