Anti-Islam Dutch Film: Authorities asked to be alert for potential riots
ISLAMABAD: The Interior Ministry has directed provincial home secretaries, police chiefs and the authorities concerned in Islamabad, Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas to remain alert to cope with any law and order situation that may erupt with the possible release of an “anti-Islam” Dutch movie. The National Crisis Management Cell has informed the abovementioned authorities in a letter that an “anti-Islam” film by Greet Wilders, a jurist in the Netherlands, is expected to release, which may result in public aggression against foreigners and the installations of multinational companies and diplomatic offices in Pakistan. Wilders, the chief of Holland Freedom Party, is also a Holland parliament member. Dutch Prime Minster Jan Peter and other leaders are urging him against the release of the movie. Wilders warns that he will upload the film on the Internet, if he is not allowed to release it. staff report
