MMA lawmakers take strong exception to Aurat Azadi March
Parliamentarians declare the rally a conspiracy to promote immoralityISLAMABAD: Lawmakers of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) have strongly reacted to the recently held Aurat Azadi March across the country. MMA parliamentarian Maulana Asmatullah, Maulana Kamaluddin, Maulana Muhammad Anwar, Malik Afreen Khan and Shahida Akhtar Ali after submitting an adjournment motion at the National Assembly demanded an immediate debate on the issue. Akhtar termed the protest as an advancement of agenda by the western NGOs through which they wanted to devastate eastern societies and culture. “Those claiming to establish a state of Madina have been exposed after granting permission for such demonstration,” she said. The MNAs claimed that placards exhibited in the demonstration held gross and inappropriate remarks which were aimed to negate the commandments of the Almighty.
