Qasmi said, "Islam says Nupur Sharma should be forgiven. We disagree with the protest that started across the country after Friday prayers against Nupur Sharma and her derogatory remarks."
Nupur Sharma, who is a former spokesperson of the BJP, sparked a massive controversy with her contentious statement on Islamic God Prophet Mohammad during a TV news debate.
"So this is what I get supporting the brave #NupurSharma. Hundreds of death threats. It makes me even more determined and proud of supporting her. For evil may never win. Never. #IsupportNupurSharma,” he said in a tweet.
Mumbai Police has summoned suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma to record a statement on June 25 in connection with her objectionable remarks against Prophet Mohammad.
A day after AIMIM MP Imtiaz Jaleel said that Nupur Sharma should be "hanged" for her remarks against the Prophet, party chief Owaisi distanced himself from the stand and said Sharma should be “punished as per the law”.
