Bringing religion into politicsThe PML-N decided to appease the preachers of hate by making Zahid Hamid a fall guy. The result is that as we approach the elections, the two parties have introduced a non-issue into the political discourse. The PML-N and PTI candidates fighting for a Chakwal provincial seat PP-20 have reduced the campaign to who is more opposed to the Ahmadis. The highest bidder so far is PML-N’s candidate who called for expelling the Ahmadis from Pakistan. And still we wonder why the US has placed Pakistan on watch list for violations of religious freedom.
