Prof Sujat Khan, Secretary Anjuman-e-Imamia Jammu, while addressing, said that without having the knowledge of any religion we should not screen or publish this kind of disrespect to any religion especially Islam a religion of truth and peace. He added that in India there are people belonging to different folks and beliefs and it really hurts when we target a religion without knowing about the facts of that religion. “It is our submission to the Press Council of India that a check should be made on this kind of channels who try to disturb the religious faith of any religion,” he said and also warned action against such channels if such disrespect is shown in near future.
