Shujaat asks govt not to amend laws

LAHORE : Pakistan Muslim League-Q President Choudhry Shujaat Hussain has said that the government should refrain from amending Namoos-e-Risalat (SAW) laws.

He said this while talking to a Jamaat-e-Islami delegation comprising Central Secretary General Liaquat Baloch, Naib Amir Dr Farid Piracha and Punjab Ameer Mian Maqsood Ahmed which called on him at his residence here on Tuesday.

Ch Shujaat Hussain said first the government under the cover of the election laws interfered with the Khatm-e-Nabuwwat matter and now under a peculiar foreign and un-Islamic agenda in the garb of human rights attempts were being made to play a dangerous game of further hurting sentiments of the Muslims. Efforts are being made to get Namoos-e-Risalat laws amended through the Senate, he added.

He said that Khatm-e-Nabuwwat and Namoos-e-Risalat (SAW) is basic faith of every Muslim without which no person can be a Muslim at all. The government should refrain from this dangerous game because the government is working on a peculiar agenda and it has no realisation about hurting the sentiments of crores of Muslims of the country, he said. He emphasised upon the members of the Senate and the National Assembly not to carry forward foreign and un-Islamic agenda of the rulers. Shujaat said that the sit-in in Islamabad was also the result of incompetence of the rulers.
