July 10, 2021
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq expressed his concern over a reported life attempt on renowned religious scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani after he called on the latter in Karahci on Friday.
A man, later overpowered and handed over to police, had reportedly taken out a dagger when he was seeking a meeting with the scholar.
Haq inquired after Mufti Usmani’s health and discussed a number of matters of mutual interest.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed the prevailing political situation, the government s policies towards religious seminaries, the Financial Action Task Force-related legislation, and the bill allegedly targeting the family system in the name of legislation against torture in families.

ISLAMABAD: As opposition members in the Senate on Monday assailed the government for what they called an attempt to rule through ordinances, the government defended the president’s power to promulgate ordinances.
“It is not something illegal. Article 89 of the Constitution which had not been touched at the time of the 18th Amendment gives the president power of issuing ordinances,” Law Minister Dr Farogh Naseem said during the discussion on a motion on ‘the alarming propensity of the federal government to usurp and subvert parliamentary and provincial rights guaranteed in the Constitution by attempting to rule the country by ordinances, especially the current case of attempted illegal land grab of Sindh and Balochistan’s islands as well as resources’.
