Demonstrators gathered in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Quetta, Peshawar, Multan, and numerous other cities on Sunday.
In Lahore, about 6,000 people took part in a rally, while over 2,000 others took to the streets of the port city of Karachi.
Tens of the members of Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf party founded by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan also gathered in Karachi.
A spokesman for the group said a delegation had visited the residence of the French consul-general in Karachi to submit a resolution demanding that Paris ban the magazine “for spreading religious hatred in the world.”
Demonstrators also set the effigies of French President Francois Hollande as well as French flags on fire.
Christian pastors also took part in the rallies to voice their anger at the French magazine.
A wave of protests has spread since the magazine once again printed a cartoon of Islam’s Prophet, only days after a January 7 attack on its office in Paris, which left 12 people, including its editor, dead.
