| KARACHI: A top leader of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) said on Thursday that the six-party religious alliance would launch a campaign to protect the Hudood Ordinance and foil the government's attempt to repeal or amend the law that was enacted during the regime of military dictator General Ziaul Haq as part of his Islamization process. "The presidential ordinance giving relief to women prisoners is based on mala fide intentions and if we remain idle and do nothing to protect the Hudood Ordinance the government would encourage a repeal or amendment to other Islamic laws as well," Maulana Asadullah Bhutto, provincial president of the MMA, said at an 'Ulema Convention' held at the Jamaat-e-Islami's Karachi headquarters Idara Noor-e-Haq. He said all the religious leaders and pesh imams of mosques would raise their voice against the government. |
