Government offers opposition to hold talks ?

While addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry along with Information Minister Shibli Faraz, offered to hold talks with the Opposition on ‘electoral reforms’.

“We want to make future elections fair and transparent,” said Fawad. He also added that National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser was ready to form committees on the issue while Adviser to the PM, Babar Awan and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan were already working on the matter.

Endangering innocent lives

Aurat March has rattled many a misogynist over the years. Women out on the streets, marching for their rights and raising their voice is somehow considered ‘vulgar’ and ‘obscene’. This year, though, what the anti-women brigade did was unforgivable. By their false and malicious propaganda, they have put the lives of thousands of women at stake.

It is time that we all raise our voice against this dangerous and vicious campaign against Aurat March. Some from media have tendered an apology for sharing the doctored video and deleted their tweets but is a mere apology enough for putting the lives of thousands of women at risk with allegations of a topic as sensitive as blasphemy? These people must be held accountable. The government should not only provide protection to these women but must also take action against all those who took forward the false propaganda against Aurat March.

Minister for religious affairs Noor-ul-Haq Qadri has said that an “investigation” is being conducted in relation to the alleged banners and “blasphemous slogans” chanted at the Aurat March.
Those who “photoshopped” the Aurat March banners would be given “exemplary” punishment, said his statement, referring to the “doctored” social media posts against the Aurat March.
