Parliament Speech In Accordance With Quaid’Vision Of Pakistan, Constitution – Asif
PMLN National Assembly Parliamentary Leader Khawaja Asif says his speech was in accordance with Quaid-e-Azam’s vision and the rights granted to minorities by the constitution of Pakistan.
For the past few days there has been an ongoing debate regarding his last speech in the National Assembly. My entire speech was in the context of Pakistan’s constitution which grants grants equal rights to all citizens of Pakistan irrespective of their religion, faith and ethnicity , which he said he clarified.
He said Islam is the perfect religion and final message of God Almighty through his last Prophet Muhammad (SAWW). He said the primacy of our religion is the corner stone of every Muslim’s belief. Trying to misinterpret his statements , narrating them out of context for political gains is extremely irresponsible and wrong.
He pointed out that Quaid-e-Azam’s speeches serve as a guiding principle in this regard. Muslims were being persecuted as a minority, prior to partition, consequently, the two nation theory evolved.
Asif said he supports the rights of the minorities as enshrined in the constitution of Pakistan. It is our responsibility to represent the miniorties also because we have a joint electorate where everyone votes in the general elections of National Assembly.
The PMLN Leader said Islam teaches us to protect all people irrespective of class, Color and creed . Furthermore islam makes it imperative upon us to raise our voices against injustice and inequality without any fear.
Asif thanked those who understood his statement and defended him at various forums.
