'Resign or face God's judgment'
Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) President Qazi Hussain Ahmad has written letters to all the treasury members of the Senate and the National assembly asking them to resign voluntarily or they would be answerable to God for supporting the un-Islamic Womens Protection Act (WPA).
In his two-page letter, Qazi has asked the parliamentarians to read the book on Islamic laws written by Prof Khurshid Ahmed accompanying the letter and then decide if their decision of supporting the WPA was correct. The government, he said, wanted to make Pakistan a secular state and promote obscenity following the agenda of the US and Europe.
Begum Mehnaz Rafi, member of the Standing Committee for Womens Development in the National Assembly, told Daily Times that she had received the letter but would not reply to it. She said she wanted to ask Qazi why his team and he had not resigned from the National Assembly after the house passed the bill.
