'Bhagwandas's appointment as acting CJP is against Islam'
2007-03-22
The appointment of Justice Rana Bhagwandas as the acting chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) is ‘against Islam’, said a Jamatud Dawa activist.
"Sez so right in the Koran someplace. Youse could look it up!"
According to a press statement issued on Wednesday, Professor Hafiz Abdur Rahman Makki said that Pakistan was a Muslim state, therefore, a non-Muslim could not be appointed as the acting chief justice.
"Nope. Nope. Can't do it."
He said that when Hazrat Omar (PTUI PBUH) was the head of the Islamic state, Abu Musa Ashari (PTUI PBUH) appointed a Christian as a chief record keeper but Omar (PTUI PBUH) ordered Ashari (PTUI PBUH) to remove the Christian from the post. He said according to the constitution, the chief justice of Pakistan was also the head of the Federal Shariat Court, a post that must be headed by a Muslim.
