JUP Biggie decries Pak drift to a secular state
The chief of Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan and Milli Yakjehti Council, Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani, has forewarned the military rulers of impending harm to the sovereignty of the country if they failed to hold general elections on time. At a meeting with Pakistan Muslim League president Pir Sabir Shah, he urged the rulers to abide by the Supreme Court verdict. The two leaders discussed an alliance of the religio-political parties. The JUP chief accused the government of promoting secular culture at the behest of the United States. He vowed to resist anti-Islam and anti-Pakistan moves with a stronger, grand alliance of religious and right wing parties.
One man's secular state appears to be another man's den of raving religious lunatics.
