A PTI leader from Sarghodh Sahibzada Naeemuddin Sialvi has quit the party in protest against Prime Minister Imran Khan for not ‘mentioning the sacrifices of innocent followers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’ 

He said he was disappointed with PM Imran Khan’s address in which he just mentioned the sacrifices of the policemen. He said he condemned police torture of protesters and raised the demand for the immediate release of the protesters.

In a televised address to the nation, the premier said although his government and the recently proscribed TLP had the same goal to end incidents of blasphemy around the world, their methodologies to deal with the issue were different.

He said the Holy Prophet (PBUH) lived in the hearts of the people of Pakistan that was why whenever any disrespect was attempted to his name anywhere in the world, it hurts Muslims Speaking about the events of the past week, he said "It appeared as if one party loves the Prophet (PBUH) more than other Pakistanis.

Imran Khan said like the TLP, the government too wanted that there was no blasphemy against the Prophet in any country.
