Ejaz should be dismissed: Benazir
 Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on Wednesday said the government should dismiss Religious Affairs Minister Ejazul Haq who apparently justified suicide attacks on author Salman Rushdie. The minister has done a great disservice both to the image of Islam and the standing of Pakistan by calling for the murder of a foreign citizen, Benazir said in a statement. She said although the sentiments of Muslims were outraged when Rushdie was awarded a knighthood, neither Islam nor the law allowed suicide attacks.Posted by: Fred 2007-06-21 |
