Sharifs allies flay Sharia Bill
ISLAMABAD. Apr 14: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifs fundamentalist allies have come out tn the open to attack what they regard as a weak bill to enforce the Islamic code of Sharia In Pakistan, reports Reuter.
But his opponents, led by former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, have refrained from making an Immediate denunciation.
The attack on Saturday by a forum of Islamic Religious Parties led by Sharifs allies came two days after the government Introduced a Sharia bill in the Parliament's lower house
The forum was also unhappy with Sharif for delaying the presentation of another promised bill to amend the constitution to facilitate Sharia's enforcement.
The bill, which must be passed by both houses of parliament to become law, declares Sharia to be Pakistans’ Supreme Law, but gives few clues how this would work.
A forum resolution denounced the legislation as a slaughtered, tattered bill and called for the adoption of a stronger bill proposed by fundamentalists.
The forum picked on the bill's provision for honouring existing financial contracts and International obligations to accuse Sharif of seeking to retain the system of paying interest for three more years. It says Interest Is banned by Islam.
On the one hand Sharia I* declared the Supreme Law and on the other continuation of interest Is being guaranteed, the resolution said .
Continuing the interest-
based economy, according to quranic Injunctions, is a declaration of war against Allah and Allah's Prophet and negates the claim of making (Pakistan) an Islamic Welfare State.
The fundamentalists were instrumental In last year's election victory by Sharifs Islamic Democratic Alliance (IDA). The alliance defeated Bhutto's Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), which they accused of being anti-Sharia.
After Sharif took office in November, they have been pressing him to fulfil his campaign pledge to enforce Sharia through a harsher bill they proposed.
But Sharif presented a bill of his own. which appekrs to side step fundamentalist demands for a new Islamic Judiciary which could overrule parliament.
Since then, a coalition of opposition groups has demanded the ouster of certain ministers and demanded that Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al Sabah set a date for democratic elections.
The Emir went part way toward meeting their demands last week when he announced that parliamentary elections would be held next year at an unspecified date. He also Indi cated that voting rights may be extended to women.
Western sources said some of the acting Cabinet ministers now appear to be functioning In an uncoordinated fashion, serving their own Interests rather than seeking a unified policy.
