The lawmakers of the Balochistan Assembly on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution against the desecration of the Holy Quran in US. The deputy speaker Syed Matiullah Agha presided over the session.
Senior Minister for Planning and Development and Jamiat Ulema Islam leader Maulana Abdul Wasey on behalf of all members including minority members Jaffar George and Basant Lal Gulshan moved the resolution.
The resolution read that this house strongly condemns American cleric act of blasphemy by desecrating the Holy Quran in Florida. It demanded of the federal government to take up the issue at the international level.
Speaking on the occasion, Maulana Abdul Wasey said earlier blasphemy was committed in Denmark and now an American cleric had committed it. He alleged that it was US, which created insurgency and chaos in Tunis, Yemen, Iraq, Egypt and Libya. He claimed that an American organisation namely 'Black Water' was working in Balochistan to meet its nefarious designs. He demanded stopping logistic support to the US led Nato forces in Afghanistan in reaction to the blasphemy act.
The Minister without portfolio Nasreen Khaitran said the cleric who desecrated the Holy Quran was a miscreant and anti-peace person. Minister for Health Maulana Aianullah Shams alleged that the US and other western countries were responsible of damaging world peace. Minister for Women Development Ghazala said the cleric's act was to get cheap fame across the world.
Minority MPA Jaffar George said the US cleric could not be taken as Christian as Christianity does not allow blasphemy.
Minister for Revenue and Local Government Eng. Zamarak Khan Piralizai recalled that we had been used in American proxy war against the former Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
Other ministers who spoke and condemned the blasphemy act included Basant Lal Gulshan, Rahila Durrani, Syed Ahsan Shah, Ismail Gujjar, Mir Asim Kurd and Aslam Bizenjo. PML-Q MPA Jaffar Mandokhail also flayed the blasphemy act.
