LAHORE - Tehrik-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool (THR) will hold protest rallies and seminars against the soft behaviour of rulers for Asia Bibi across the country including provincial metropolis on Friday (today), say convener THR.
Speaking at a joint press conference at a local hotel on Thursday, Maulana Ameer Hamza said the president had no right to pardon the death sentence of the accused of blasphemy. He said the conspiracy to repeal the blasphemy law would not be succeeded in the country. He demanded of the Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry to take sou moto against Punjab Governor Salman Taseer on his statements regarding the issue. They also demanded of the CJ to order the government to ensure Asia Bibi does not flee abroad.
Representatives of different religions organisations including Prof Hafiz Abd-ur-Rahman Makki, Maulana Abdul Malik, Allama Ahmed Ali Qasuri, Haifz Abdul Ghafar Ropri, Maulana Mohammad Amjad Khan, Allama Kazim Raza Naqvi, Jameel Ahmed Faizi, Pir Haroon Gilan, Tahir Mahmood Asharfi, Abdul Latif Cheema, Nau Bahar Qadri, and others were also present on the occasion.
They said some so-called human rights NGOs were opposing the law on the behalf of America. “Federal Minister for Minorities Affairs Shehbaz Bhatti is spreading rumours of death threats to the Asia’s family just to gains sympathies”, they said. The clerics demanded of the government to remove the governor and take action against him. They said if the govt would repeal the law against blasphemy they would launch a countrywide movement.
