Shujaat for new law to prevent misuse

Islamabad—President of Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Wednesday called for refraining from any change in the Blasphemy Law saying that it would open Pandora Box urging for a new law to avoid misuse of the Blasphemy Law.

Talking to media persons after the PML-Q Central Executive Committee meeting Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said the government should convene an All Parties Conference to discuss bringing new law to avoid the misuse of Blasphemy Law and conduct a candied debate over the issue within and outside the Parliament. He said that PML-Q will never become part of the present government, which is losing its majority, adding that he was not so simple that he would play in the hands of the ruling PPP.

He condemned the killing of Governor Punjab Salman Taseer and termed his death as a great loss for the country’s biggest political party.
