| Altaf condemns Sufi's statement |
| 2009-04-20 |
| Condemning a statement by Tehreek Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Sufi Muhammad declaring high courts and the Supreme Court as un-Islamic, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain rejected on Sunday the Taliban's sharia law. Altaf's in London and Sufi's in Swat. Guess who's gonna win that argument. Addressing an ulema convention in Karachi by telephone from London, he said the Taliban's law was based on violence, and urged people to unite against the menace of Talibanisation. He said the MQM was not against sharia, adding the party was against the "sharia of the Taliban". He claimed the enforcement of the Nizam-e-Adl was just the beginning of the Talibanisation of the country, adding innocent people were being punished on false accusations. He said the time had come to choose between the Taliban and Pakistan. The two are rapidly becoming one, aren't they? Make yourself comfy in London, Altaf. You're gonna be there for awhile. |
