Pakistan has summoned France’s ambassador in Islamabad, the foreign office said on Monday.

Axar.az reports that the foreign office spokesman confirmed that the French ambassador had been summoned and shared a statement from his office which said

“Pakistan condemns systematic Islamophobic campaign under the garb of freedom of expression”.

Khan’s comments came after Macron paid tribute to a French history teacher beheaded by an Islamist radical who wanted to avenge the use of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression.
