ISLAMABAD: Minister for Law and Justice Barrister Farogh Naseem has opposed the public hanging of sexual abusers and murdering children – for which a resolution was passed in the National Assembly yesterday with a majority of votes – as “contradictory with Islamic teachings and the Constitution.”
In his exclusive talk to Dunya News, Mr Naseem asserted that the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) in 1994 had termed the public hanging “unconstitutional” and declared it against Islamic law.
“The law ministry won’t enforce any law (in legal service to the state) that is contrary with Shariah or the Constitution of Pakistan,” he added.
Yesterday, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan presented a hand-written resolution in the parliament, which was passed by all lawmakers, expect of PPP’s, while referring to the “brutal killing of 8-year-old Iwaz Noor in Nowshera”. The session was presided over by Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri.
