Shiite News: The outcomes of Majlis Wahdat Muslimeen’s effort on the Criminal Amendment Act 2021 started to emerge, Federal Minister for Human Rights Riaz Hussain Pirzada demanded the withdrawal of the Bill from the Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Shahbaz Sharif.

Federal Human Rights Minister Riaz Hussain Pirzada has demanded Prime Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif immediately withdraw the Criminal Amendment Act 2021 approved by the National Assembly.

According to the sources, in the most important letter issued by the Federal Minister of Human Rights to the Prime Minister, it has been said that the religious minorities have the most serious reservations about the recent amendments.

Federal Minister for Human Rights Riyaz Hussain Pirzada has expressed serious reservations about the clause number 298-A of the Criminal Amendment Bill.

It should be noted that Allama Maqsood Ali Domki, the central leader of Majlis Wahdat Muslimeen Pakistan, met the Federal Minister for Human Rights Riaz Hussain Pirzada in his chamber a few days ago and told him about the social instability, promotion of extremism and terrorism of the Criminal Amendment Bill 2021.

The former governor of Punjab Salman Taseer, a student of Bacha Khan University Mashaal Khan, a Sri Lankan citizen in Sialkot, National Bank Manager Branch Quaidabad Malik Imran Hanif Awan, a resident of Asif Town, Johorabad have become the targets of this in the past.

The central leader of MWM, Allama Maqsood Domki, informed Riaz Hussain Pirzada that this controversial amendment bill will be used as a weapon against religious minorities in Pakistan and as a tactic of religious prejudice against the Shia school of thought.

In this bill the ranks, standards and limits of the Companions have not been clearly specified.
