Attack on Salman Rushdie ‘unjustifiable’: Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister and PTI chairman Imran Khan said that the attack on Salman Rushdie was “unjustifiable”. In an interview with The Guardian, Khan said that the anger caused in the Islamic world by Salman Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verse” was understandable, but it could not justify the assault. When asked for his response on the New York knife attack on Rushdie, Imran Khan said, “I think it’s terrible, sad.” “Rushdie understood because he came from a Muslim family. He knows the love, respect, and reverence of a prophet that lives in our hearts. He knew that,” Khan said
