| Fazl: 'Bid to remove Islamic clauses from constitution foiled' |
| 2010-04-02 |
| [Geo News] Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Amir Maulana Fazlur Rehman said Thursday that he had foiled an attempt made to make amends in the Islamic clauses regarding supremacy of Almighty, system based on Quran and Sunnah, bar of Islam for the head of state and ban on religion in the politics. He was addressing a public gathering at Fort Dheri area located in the outskirts of Peshawar. Following the end of Soviet occupation, the United States launched an anti-Islam campaign. While Pakistan's secular forces also found it easy to create hurdles on the path of Islam under the patronage of America, he remarked. Rehman said that the JUI-F had foiled the plot to remove Islamic clauses from the Constitution. "The champions of repeal of 17th Amendment have retained almost all of its clauses except few." The JUI-F chief said the nationalist groups have also accepted incomplete formula of provincial autonomy while renaming of NWFP as Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa was decided by Lahore instead of public or NWFP assembly. |
