| Khuda Kay Liye is blasphemous: Ghazi |
| 2007-07-03 |
| Lal Masjid has demanded a ban on a yet-to-be released movie, Khuda Kay Liye, declaring it blasphemous. The movie will depict a post 9/11 scenario in which confrontation between fundamentalists and liberal Muslims has intensified. “The film is against Islamic norms and traditions and is being released on a private TV channel without prior approval from a censor board. We won’t allow this,” said Abdul Rashid Ghazi, the Lal Masjid deputy mullah, who did not mention his source of information about the movie. He said he would not object to the movie if ulema approved it. He demanded that the government form a board to review the film. “The government will be held responsible if the film is released without being censored,” he said. Pakistani actor Shan and Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah are starring in the movie. Shoaib Mansoor is the producer of the movie to be released on July 7. |
