| Qazi vows to resist registration of Madaris |
| 2002-07-08 |
| Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussein Ahmed Sunday vowed to resist the government move register Madaris [madrassahs], saying, "this vicious move is to put in chains the Madaris ... It is an American Agenda. Military ruler Musharraf is to implement and honour [American] whims and wishes." Or he might be mad because the religious loons wanted to assassinate him... He was talking to reporters at the residence of Qazi Sher Afzal of Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Pakistan. Qazi said that "Musharraf has gone crazy in lust for power. That is why, he is trying to grab all the constitutional powers. Constitution is sacred document and one who flagrantly violates has to face the music as rulers in the past." Qazi said, "every sordid activity of the FBI and other American agencies and the institution is multiplying hatred and disgust for the armed forces. It is writing on the wall for the military." That last statement could be the one that gets Qazi arrested for real, since the Pak military doesn't take lightly to people calling it names. That would normally be something I'd call a Bad Thing — a freedom of speech issue — but since Qazi's an out-and-out subversive, it'd be a good thing to see him jugged for a considerably period for something. |
