Pakistan’s huge victory: March 15 designated as Int’l Day to Combat Islamophobia
PM Imran Khan says UN finally recognises grave Islamophobia challenge confronting the world


Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan Tuesday congratulated the Muslim Ummah after the United Nations (UN) finally recognised the grave Islamophobia challenge confronting the world.
"Today, the UN has finally recognised the grave challenge confronting the world: of Islamophobia, respect for religious symbols, and practices and of curtailing systematic hate speech and discrimination against Muslims," the prime minister said in a series of tweets.
“I want to congratulate the Ummah today as our voice against the rising tide of Islamophobia has been heard and the UN has adopted a landmark resolution introduced by Pakistan, on behalf of OIC, designating 15 March as International Day to Combat Islamophobia,” .reads the tweet.
The OIC observes March 15 as the day to combat Islamophobia every year after the organisation passed a resolution — presented by Pakistan — at the 47th session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in the year in November 2020.
In January, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said that Islamophobia is not acceptable at any cost and vowed to make his country safer for Muslims.
