Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain said on Sunday that people have fully rejected religious extremists and stick-wielding Sharia in Pakistan.
In a telephonic address to a rally here today, he believed that the massive public gathering comprising of peoples from different schools of thoughts is the clear example that the people are against stick-wielding or Kalashnikov-wielding Sharia in the country.
He said people from different schools of thoughts have unanimously voiced their strong rejection against seminaries and mosques built on land encroachments or constructed illegally.
He said progressive and workingwomen in the federal capital were being forced to follow rules created by these extremist elements from Lal-Masjid and Jamia Hafsa. In the same breath he added that the women were being manhandled and tortured if they resist or failed to comply them.
Hussain further said that why these religious extremists are threatening the establishment and who gave them the right to restrict women from driving and ask them where are they going.
Altaf asked for a Fatwa through referendum from scholars of the country that the seminaries and mosques built on illegally acquired lands are in accordance with Sharia or not. Answering the question, the Ulema present on the occasion voiced unanimously that Sharia does not allow any Muslim to even offer prayer on such encroached lands.
