Rasheed questionsTaliban Shariah declares Taliban’s are butchers

Federal Information Minister Pervez Rasheed condemning the killing of FC personnel questioned Taliban, either their conduct with FC captives accordance with Sharia? as even India had not beheaded Pakistani soldiers in 1971.

Talking with media minister said that TTP’s central spokesman Shahidullah Shahid should have conveyed their reservations to the negotiating team they formed. “But, they didn’t do it and firstly attacked policemen in Karachi and then killed FC personnel,” he added.
“People favouring enforcement of Sharia should tell what treatment captives deserve according to the Sharia …… and the treatment those (FC men) received was in accordance with the Islamic laws or not,” he questioned.
Taking a strong stand against the home grown militants, he said the government also has reservations which the Taliban must address first.
Referring to the 1971’s war against India, Rashid said, “Even our rival country treated our 90,000 war captives in accordance with the Geneva Convention.” “Did they (Indians) behead even a single Pakistani soldier,” he questioned.
“On national issues all political parties are on board as it was national issue and government is not playing politics,” adding the decision over Taliban condition would be taken after meeting with government committee.
