Former Prime Minister and Pakistan PeopleÂ’s Party Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto on Friday condemned the girl students of Jamia Hafsa for taking law into their hands, and police for turning a blind eye to it.
Benazir Bhutto, in a statement issued here, said the images of burqa-clad and stick-wielding women holding policemen hostage, forcing shopkeepers to shut their businesses and kidnapping a family of three women accusing them of loose morals had tarnished country’s image a lot. She said that Wednesday’s incident had given rise to suspicions that the Musharraf-led government was pushing the country towards Talibanisation to seek international community’s support for it. “This is dangerous brinkmanship which will gravely undermine national security and integrity,” she said. |
