Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan says Muslim states need to adopt a united stance and prepare a comprehensive strategy to deal with challenges facing the Muslim Ummah, such as Islamophobia.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, she said legislation at global level needs to be made for ensuring due respect to holy personalities and books of every religion so that the Norway like incidents could be averted. Such incidents should be declared a crime and the culprits should be punished accordingly.

The Special Assistant said Pakistan, being a pioneer member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, desires promotion of economic relations among Muslim countries and strengthening of cooperation in science and technology.

She said OIC is the highest platform to strengthen the bond among Muslims. She said OIC has to play a more proactive role for resolution of the problems of the Muslims, facing oppression and tyranny.

She said the verdict about Babri mosque has exposed secular face of India and unveiled India's attitude towards Muslims and other minorities.

Thanking OIC for supporting and expressing solidarity with oppressed Kashmiris, the Special Assistant said the forum will have to raise more voice to highlight democratic rights of Kashmiris and the grave situation in occupied Kashmir.
