Pakistan on Saturday summoned the Norwegian ambassador to convey concern over the incident of desecration of the Muslim holy book, Quran, in Norwegian city of Kristiansand.

Furthermore, such actions could not be justified in the name of freedom of expression,” said a statement by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry.
