Just days after <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/jerusalem-status-us-decision-a-serious-violation-of-international-law-says-pak-pm-abbasi-26120">PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi condemned</a> President Trump&#39;s decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, Pakistan&#39;s hardline political outfits took to the streets to protest against Trump&#39;s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel&#39;s capital.

Protesters <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/sooner-palestinians-come-to-grips-with-reality-we-can-move-towards-peace-israeli-pm-netanyahu-26405">belonging to Majlis Wahdat ul Muslimeen</a>(MWM), a hardline Islamist group, torched the US and Israeli flags in front of the US Consulate in Karachi.

Several hundred Difa-e-Pakistan Council protesters, an umbrella organization of hardline political organization took to the streets in Karachi chanting &nbsp;&quot;Death to America&quot; holding anti-US banners.

Last week, Jammat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed in his first public speech in Chauburji near Lahore had slammed the US move to recognise Jerusalem as Israel&#39;s capital saying: &quot;Any Muslim country if opens its consulate in Jerusalem should be barred from opening their embassies in the Muslim countries.&quot;

The Jammat chief urged the Pakistan government to convene a session of joint parliament to discuss the Jerusalem issue.

On Thursday, PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had said he &nbsp;deeply regretted that pleas from states across the globe not to alter the &quot;legal and historical status&quot; of Al Quds Al Sharif have been ignored after President Trump announced the US administration was changing Jerusalem&#39;s status and moving its embassy to the holy site which Palestinians also claim is their home.

Trump had said the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital was &quot;long overdue&quot; even as NATO allies Britain and France called Trump&#39;s decision &quot;unhelpful&quot; and &quot;regrettable&quot;.
