 Pakistan's ex-Prime Minister and Chairperson of Pakistan People's Party Ms Benazir Bhutto has said that the Hisba bill was a bid to copy the polices of the Taliban regime. She said that the bill did not bode well for the strength and stability of the nation, adding that it would empower the intrusion into the private lives of the country's citizens. The bill, Ms Bhutto said was also un-Islamic as Islam prohibited its followers to spy on each other. The bill, on the other hand is aimed at setting up a moral brigade to deny citizens, a freedom of choice and allow the clergy to judge at what they regarded as virtue, Ms Benazir Bhutto said.| Qazi was "for" this bill yesterday, hence all thinking folk should be "against" it. This being Pakistan, all bets are off. |
