Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has asked the nation to observe Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool (S.A.W), to protest against the Profane Film, in Stone-age. And directed Interior Ministry to disconnect Cellular Phone Service of some sensitive regions to maintain Law and Order situation in the country, as millions will hit the streets to condemn an Anti-Islam Film.
Rehman Malik was of the opinion that it will also provide necessary munition for street-fights during the protests.
