Afgan opposes Shujaat’s contact with Ulema

ISLAMABAD—Federal Minister for parliamentary affairs, Dr. Sher Afgan Khan Niazi, has termed PML president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain talks with the ulema on Women Protection Bill (WPBP) as illogical saying that the PML political is beyond comprehension.
He said that there was no reason for talks with the ulema over WPB when the Bill had become Act. He expressed these remarks while talking to a private TV channel and reporters on Monday. He said that the MQM protest against Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain with the Ulema was justified and he backed it. He said that the PML president should have not held dialogue with the ulema on WPB when the Bill had already enforced.
Responding to a question, Sher Afgan said that the PML (N) and PPP-P lack candidates on 50 percent constituencies to participate in the upcoming election and that is why both the parties have started hue and cry before polls. He said that PML (N) was a rogue party and the party leader Nawaz Sharif had indicted criminals in his league.
To another question, he said, that Imran Khan was an accidental politician. He said that Imran Khan could not protect his spouse and children, how could he safeguard the 140 million population of Pakistan.
He said that district nazim Mianwali, Malik Amantullah, would contest next elections against Imran Khan.
Sher Afgan said that bills on women sale and purchase, adultery, forced marriages, divorce, Vani, marriage with Quran and depriving women of legacy would be presented in the next session of the National Assembly.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Muhammad Ali Durrani Monday said that Mutahidda Qoumi Movement (MQM) has been performing its role in the coalition government during the past four years and it would continue to do so.
