Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Muhammad Ijazul Haq has said that there would be no change in the blasphemy law and the Hudood Ordinance. Ijaz said that Pakistan was achieved in the name of Islam and no law would be made which was against the Holy Quran and Sunnah. He said: "We should follow the teachings of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) as His life is a model not only for the Muslims but also for the entire humanity."
He added: "Our duty towards Islam would be fulfilled only when we devote our energies and resources to project the enlightened message of Islam in the interest of peace and harmony." Ijazul Haq said the Muslim world was going through a difficult situation and it was all because we were not acting upon the laws given to us by the Holy Prophet. He said the recent incidents of bomb blasts and murders in different cities were a result of the machinations of international organizations. He said of all the terrorism cases taking place in the country, 72 per cent "have nothing to do with religious terrorism." He said the enemies' intentions were to provoke sectarianism in the country. He said that all the madaris were run independently and the government would support them in every way. |
