In addition, Interior Minister Rehman Malik weighed in with another threat to Google Inc, the company that owns YouTube, asking it to remove the anti-Islam material, or visas of Google officials would be cancelled. He also said he will approach Interpol for the arrest of those involved in the film, reports The Express Tribune.
