'Indiscriminate firepower' against Lal Masjid criticised
The government is massacring humanity by using indiscriminate firepower against Lal Masjid, said the administrator of Binoria University International, Mufti Muhammad Naeem, and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Central Joint Secretary General Qari Sher Afzal in a joint statement issued Sunday. Attacking the mosque with mortar shells for the past six days and indiscriminate killing are blatant violations of human rights, they said. The West is aware that present rulers are using Lal Masjid as an issue, which will lead to nothing. They regretted the loss of human life on both sides, and were saddened by the death of Lt. Col. Haroon Islam in particular. Sensitive national institutions should not be used against their own people. They demanded that action taken against Lal Masjid be stopped to avoid killing innocent people.Posted by: Fred 2007-07-09 |
