Geert Wilders, a Dutch businessman and politician who is also the leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid – PVV) since he founded it in 2006 has called for the arrest of Tehreek-e-Labbaik leader Saad Hussain Rizvi.

Tehreek-e-Labbaik, a Pakistani Islamic political party, was founded by Rizvi’s late father, the firebrand Islamic scholar and author Khadim Hussain Rizvi, who supported the blasphemy laws in Pakistan and the imposition of Shariat law.

In a tweet, Wilders said “Jail this Pakistani criminal #SaadHussainRizvi for life @ImranKhanPTI. And ban his islamofascist party #TLP who’s former leader issued a fatwa against me for organizing a #Muhammad-cartoon contest. Protect freedom. #TLPNationWideProtest #Wilders“.

Immediately, there was outrage in Pakistan against Wilders and supporters of Tehreek-e-Labbaik who have practically paralysed the Punjab province in this week’s anti-French protests in Pakistan, which many are calling a civil war.

In another recent tweet, Geert Wilders said that Islam is a violent and discriminatory ideology that endangers free societies and Pakistan’s violent nature is living proof of it. French President Emmanuel Macron had already made it very clear that under the French law, blasphemy is not a crime.

A few days back Wilders sent out a tweet and allegedly made disparaging remarks about Islam at the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Wilders is against the growing threat of Islam in the Netherlands and has compared Islam to Nazism and the Koran to Adolph Hitler’s book Mein Kampf.
