ISLAMABAD, Nov 08 (DNA): Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari slammed on
Sunday a Geneva-based NGO, UN Watch’s remark on Prime Minister Imran
Khan’s “Blasphemy in garb of freedom of expression is intolerable”
tweet.

Speaking exclusively to a private television channel Sunday, she said
the NGO directly attacked the prime minister.

“UN Watch is a private NGO which is funded by Israel,” she said. “The
organistaion has become a tool of Israel and has nothing to do with the
United Nations,” she declared.

Mazari said Prime Minister Khan’s statement on blasphemous caricatures
was taken note of the world over, including Muslim countries, which is
why it elicited reaction. “The prime minister’s statement carries weight
and for the first time, such a strong stance was taken.”

Separately, Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Zaidi, responding to UN
Watch’s tweet, said: “Are u for real? Kashmir burns u stay silent!
Palestine burns u stay silent! Thousands killed in Middle East, not a
sound from ur org!”

“But u have the audacity to question the one nation that suffered the
most? And question the one man who stands for human rights across the
board?”

The PM’s aide on overseas Pakistanis Sayed Zulfi Bukhari tweeted:
“Speaking up for selective justice is intolerable. Staying quiet on
human rights abuse in #Gaza is intolerable. Your silence on #UN charter
not getting implemented in #Kashmir is intolerable. To be precise ..
your double standards are intolerable.. infact despicable!.” DNA
