PM Imran Khan has sent a missive to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as tensions around the world are rising after President Macron made insensitive comments which were sure to increase Islamophobia.

Several countries around the world are now calling for a boycott of French products. As per AlJazeera, President Macron has called Islam a faith “in crisis” worldwide.

PM’s Tweets to French President:

PM Imran had called out the French President on Twitter in a very series of tweets given below:

Hallmark of a leader is he unites human beings, as Mandela did, rather than dividing them. This is a time when Pres Macron could have put healing touch & denied space to extremists rather than creating further polarisation & marginalisation that inevitably leads to radicalisation

He further went on to mention that it had been unfortunate that the French Leader chose to encourage Islamophobia:

It is unfortunate that he has chosen to encourage Islamophobia by attacking Islam rather than the terrorists who carry out violence, be it Muslims, White Supremacists or Nazi ideologists. Sadly, President Macron has chosen to deliberately provoke Muslims, incl his own citizens,

And this can be the final thing the planet needs:

The last thing the world wants or needs is further polarisation. Public statements based on ignorance will create more hate, Islamophobia & space for extremists.
