'Those killing innocent women not Muslim’

By Irfan Ghauri

ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly on Friday condemned the Bajaur, 
Damadola and other such incidents in which innocent women were killed, 
and declared that the perpetrators of these crimes were not Muslims.

The condemnation came through a resolution that was passed unanimously 
and was moved by Ayesha Munawar of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA). 
The resolution also condemned the killing of innocent women in other 
incidents.

Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain objected that the house could not decree 
(fatwa) that someone was Muslim or non-Muslim, but none of the treasury 
parliamentarians considered the resolution’s wording, passing it 
unanimously.

Through another resolution moved by Federal Tourism Minister Nilofar 
Bakhtiar, the National Assembly condemned the killing of Punjab Minister 
Zil-e-Huma Usman, and demanded the provincial government take prompt 
action against the killer through a speedy trial in an anti-terrorism court.

The house viewed the killing as “an extreme form of terrorism”, and said 
there should be no delay in punishing the murderer, as he was caught 
red-handed.

However, Khawaja Asif of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said 
an ordinary court should hear the case. He said the establishment of 
ATCs during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure was a “wrong step”.

“Although anti-terrorism courts were set up during our party’s 
government, I regret that it was a wrong step. Anyone of us can be a 
victim of these courts,” said the PML-N MNA.
