Assemblies enacting laws in conflict with Quran, Sunnah: Liaquat Baloch

LAHORE:  Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has said that the national and provincial assemblies were enacting laws in conflict with the Holy Quran and the Sunnah and also the Constitution but the religious forces would protect the Islamic character of the country and the Islamic laws at every cost.

Addressing party workers in the city on Saturday he said that the Sindh Assembly had crossed at limits and passed a law restricting conversion to Islam which even the people in the west did not think of. He said the unconstitutional and undemocratic attitude of the secular elements and groups in the country was causing a strong reaction among the masses.

Liaquat Baloch who is also the Secretary General of the Milli Yakjehti Council said that the religious parties all over the country were holding joint meetings in major cities including Karachi, Lahore Peshawar and Quetta and a national conference would also be held soon. He noted that the Supreme Court had rightly taken note of the government’s failure to hold census. He said census was a constitutional obligation and a government that did not hold census had no right to rule.
