Religious leaders, govt reject EU resolution: Not a single case of blasphemy laws misuse reported in country

National May 3, 2021 LAHORE: Special Aide to Prime Minister on Interfaith Harmony and Middle East Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi has said the leadership of different religions and religious schools of thought in the country, as well as the government of Pakistan, have rejected the recent European Union (EU) resolution. Addressing a joint press conference with representatives of different religions and religious sects here on Saturday, he said the EU resolution was based on ignorance of facts and false propaganda, as not a single case of misuse of blasphemy laws was reported in the country during the last six months. Hafiz Ashrafi, who is also chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC), said that difference between freedom of expression, freedom of religion and blasphemy was very explicit and clear. The laws of Pakistan guarantee protection of rights of all citizens of the country. The Constitution protects the rights of minorities living in Pakistan, added Ashrafi.

Constitution custodian of rights given to minorities, says Ashrafi - Newspaper

ISLAMABAD: Special Representative of the Prime Minister on Religious Harmony and Middle East Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi on Monday said there was no dispute on the rights given to the minorities under the Constitution of Pakistan and Islamic laws. Talking to a delegation of ulema and mashaikh belonging to different schools of thought, he said the one-member Minority Commission comprising Dr Shoaib Suddle did not consult Muslim scholars and respective forums before drafting recommendations for uniform curriculum. He said the National Minorities Commission had also opposed the Minority Commission’s recommendations. Mr Ashrafi said there was no content in the educational curriculum that was against religious minorities. “Students belonging to the religious minorities have a choice to study Islamic history and Islamic teachings in the curriculum and it is not forced upon any individual,” he said.
