'6 mosques demolished in capital in last 3 years'
2007-08-02
Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao on Wednesday informed the National Assembly that six illegally constructed mosques had been demolished in the federal capital during the past three years.

He was answering a question posed to him by Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal MNA Shabbir Ahmed Khan. He said two of the mosques, both named Amir Hamza mosque, had been on Murree Road and Sector F-10/4. He said Masjid Syedna Abbas, which was built on Orchard Road, was demolished because it was occupying land that was meant for orchards/farms.

The Interior Minister said Masjid Syedna Ali was demolished because it was constructed on land allocated for a judicial and administrative complex. He said Masjid Umer, located in Sector G-8, was razed because it had been illegally constructed on a planned parking area. The Al-Shufa mosque in Sector I-8/3 was demolished on the complaints of residents of the area, he added.

#8  #5 We're letting Pakistan get ahead of us. We need to bulldoze at least 7 mosques in our capital. Posted by: Gary and the Samoyeds 2007-08-02 08:58

Can't do that, Gary - they might discover the bugs and hidden cameras before we could pull them out of the rubble. Better to let things go as they are...
