Abstract
Discourse is directly connected to human emotions and feelings. The use of language and selection of words reflects the inner feeling of a person when he/she is hurt religiously. The same thing happened when France projected the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) cartoons. This was shocking news for the whole Ummah because it hurt all Muslims of the world in one way or another. Khadim Hussain Rizvi has shown resistance against the immoral attitude of France and recorded his protest to ban French products from the whole country. The government of Pakistan assured him to fulfill this demand in the specified period. He became the voice of the whole nation. This research paper is a critical investigation of the discourses used by Rizvi in his speeches against France. Moreover, it is also under examination that how through the use of language Khadim Hussain Rizvi expresses his emotions. This is purely qualitative research where data has been collected from the internet, books, research papers, and newspapers.

Summary
Political speeches can have the following characteristics based on functional and thematic criteria: - The speeches are part of the product of politics. - Their subject matter is mostly linked to politics. - And in most instances, they are intended for a large audience (Chilton, 2004). The purpose of Ahmed's (2014) research was to find out the hidden agendas behind the terms politicians use in political speeches through CDA. The research aimed to find out the linguistic tools used in Imran Khan's speech to project his political ideology. This speech highlights the main obstacles to the development of Pakistan. Shahzadi (2018) analyzed the Dharna 2014 speeches of Imran Khan and Tahir-ulQadri. In these speeches, she explored the two-dimensional power play (Fairclough, 1989). Shahzadi et al (2019), in their study, have examined and exposed the power play of Tahir-ul-Qadri, in his Dharna 2014 speeches. It is of relevance to do a critical discourse analysis of Khadim Hussain Rizvi’s speeches
