JI minority wing leaders demand expulsion of French envoy
Karachi
April 23, 2021
A group of activists belonging to the Christian community and leaders of the minority wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami demanded of the federal government on Thursday to expel the French ambassador in protest against the French president’s blasphemous comments he had made last year.
Addressing a joint press conference at Idara Noor-e-Haq, the Christian leaders along with JI Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman strongly condemned the French ruling regime for hurting the sentiments of almost two billion Muslims across the globe.
The speakers urged the government to have some courage and “come out of the hysteria of economic setbacks”. On the occasion, JI leader Rehman said the difference between the exports to France and the imports from that country was not so big as to cause a collapse of the economy.

ISLAMABAD: The capital police have only Rs400 as the investigation cost for each case, resulting in poor outcome.
An officer of the police told
Dawn on condition of anonymity that due to shortage of funds, only Rs400 were available to be spent on investigation of each criminal case.
As a result, either complainants or the investigating officers have to bear the expense from their pockets. This practice is encouraging corruption in the department, he added.
The government is talking about police reforms to depoliticise the force and make it corruption free. Besides, Islamabad Model Police Act 2020 is also under discussion in a subcommittee of National Assembly Standing Committeeon Interior but without addressing the shortage of funds the police will never be corruption free, he said.
