Jamaatud Dawa (JD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said on Thursday that Pakistani rulers had invited divine wrath by scrapping the Hudood Ordinance and introducing the ‘un-Islamic’ Women’s Protection Act in its place.Hafiz Saeed told a JD meeting that ever since the new act was implemented every step the government took generated trouble for it. He said rulers should not expect any improvement in the crises faced by Pakistan till they asked for forgiveness for ‘ridiculing’ Islamic laws. The meeting – held between the JD central leadership – discussed the current situation in the country. Hafiz Abdur Rahman Makki, Maulana Ameer Hamza, Saifullah Mansoor, Saifullah Khalid, Muhammad Yahya Mujahid and Hafiz Khalid Waleed were in attendance.
Hafiz Saeed said JD had collection 11.5 million signatures against the WomenÂ’s Protection Bill during its public signature collection campaign. However, the rulers ignored the solid verdict by the people of Pakistan.
