MULTAN-The activists of Tehreek Tahafuz Namoos-e-Risalat (TTNR) marked Friday as the day of condemnation against the acquittal of blasphemy accused Aasia Bibi.

The clerics discussed in juma sermons the provisions and directions given by Islam in case of blasphemy and made it clear that Islam has fixed capital punishment for all those who committed blasphemy. They said that the government released Asia on foreign pressure which hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims. They demanded Supreme Court to review the verdict.

Ameer Jamaat-i-Islami Multan Dr Safdar Iqbal Hashmi, JUI District Ameer Hafiz Muhammad Umar, District Ameer of Jamiat Ahle Hadith Maulana Abdul Raheem Gujjar and others said that the incumbent government is following in the footsteps of the previous rulers to turn Pakistan into a secular state.

They said that the nation rejected the acquittal of Aasia. They warned that Pakistanis would protect the sanctity and honour of the personality of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and would not let anyone turn Pakistan secular.

They demanded the government to fulfil its promises and transform Pakistan into a Madina-like state, eliminate interest-based financial system and enforce Islamic code.
