Religious faction asks Fauzia to apologise for her statement

PESHAWAR/LAHORE: The Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) chapter on Sunday demanded Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Central Information Secretary Fauzia Wahab to tender an apology to the nation for her statement.

The religious group demanded that the PPP should take action against Fauzia over the statement, and told the party to stop her from issuing such statements, otherwise the PPP would be responsible for it.

Former MPA and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat KP Vice President Mohammad Ibrahim Qasmi and City President Maulana Muhammad Ismail issued a statement in which they demanded the PPP central leadership take party action against Fauzia Wahab, as she had hurt the sentiments of Muslims.

According to media reports, the information secretary ‘revealed’ that there was no constitution in the era of Hazrat Omar (RA), as there was only the Holy Quran.

Talking to a private TV channel in a programme convened on the immunity enjoyed by President Asif Ali Zardari, she said that the court of that time subpoenaed Hazrat Omar (RA) for having no constitution, but today’s judiciary could not call Zardari thanks to Article 248-A of the constitution.

The Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat leaders lambasted the statement made by Fauzia Wahab. They also demanded that she should immediately tender an apology to the whole nation.

Separately, Minhajul Quran International Secretary General Dr Raheeq Ahmad Abbasi said that the PPP information secretary should know that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) gave the first written constitution to the world in the form of the “Medina Pact”. akhtar amin/m aayan
