Pervaiz flays Switzerland for minarets ban

LAHORE

PML-Q central leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has condemned the Switzerland government for banning construction of minarets on mosques.

Talking to the PML-Q parliamentarians at his residence on Tuesday, he demanded the Pakistani rulers adopt measures to protect Islamic values.

He said that the attitude of Pakistan rulers had always been apologetic and they made the maximum efforts to present themselves as progressive against the narrow-minded policies of Western countries, including banning veil and publication of blasphemous caricatures.

He said it was mandatory upon all Islamic countries to unanimously confront challenges confronted by Islam. He said the churches with long minarets within Muslim countries were being preserved and nobody had ever objected to them so there was no justification of banning minarets on mosques.

Pervaiz Elahi also condemned the recent increase in the petroleum prices, claiming that it would bring a new waive of price-hike. He said the increase in petroleum prices would add to the miseries of poverty-stricken people.
