No progress on Hafsa issue: Ejaz
2007-05-07
Federal Religious Affairs Minister Ejazul Haq has denied any forward movement on the Jamia Hafsa issue, saying the issue could not be resolved till madrassa students evacuated the ChildrenÂ’s Library in Islamabad. He told reporters on Sunday that the madrassa was defaming other seminaries in the country.

He said Pakistan People’s Party chief Benazir Bhutto was trying to trap President Pervez Musharraf. He said she would never return to Pakistan. “Benazir wants the government to withdraw the cases against her,” he said. Haq said the government would hold free elections, adding that it would never strike a deal with the PPP. He also said women would now wear a specific dress during Haj.

#1  He also said women would now wear a specific dress during Haj.

And that was apropos of what, exactly? A toss-off to the Jamia as placation? Or does every speech by a muslim male need to throw a punch at women?

Such a strange people. It's like watching some nightmarish TV Soap.
