Dhaka has strongly condemned the despicable act of burning a copy of the holy Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, reports UNB.
Bangladesh expressed grave concern over such heinous acts of insulting the sacred values and religious symbols of the Muslims in the name of ‘freedom of expression’.
Bangladesh yet again urged all concerned to put an end to such unwarranted provocations for the sake of harmony and peaceful coexistence, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Salwan Momika, said to be an Iraqi living in Sweden, set fire to a copy of Islam's holy book outside Stockholm's central mosque on Wednesday, according to BBC.
The Quran burning was condemned by many Muslim-majority countries.
