KARACHI: Islam, not bill, protects women's rights: Qazi By Our Staff Reporter KARACHI, Dec 21: Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that Islam has provided protection and respect to women while in the name of women protection bill they are made insecure. "The bill is not for rights of women but for promotion of obscenity and the next target would be blasphemy law," he said. He announced that if elections were held under General Musharraf they would be a fraud and we would not participate in the elections. He said the government had failed on all counts and had deviated from the principled stand on Kashmir and if the country was to be protected, the only way was to get rid of the military rule and to establish supremacy of civilians in the country. Addressing a gathering of women in Karachi at Idara Noor-i-Haq by the phone from Lahore, Qazi Hussain Ahmad pointed out that eminent Ulema had opposed the bill while the Ulema of Islamic Ideology Council had rejected it and now Ulema had launched a movement for protection of Hudood-Allah. He appealed to women that they should form delegations and contact effective sections of society, inform them of the threats looming large and convince them to join the movement in order to save the country and the nation. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
