Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz said on Thursday said that when the Punjab government pursued a sexual assault case, it was turned into a “religious issue.”
Maryam stated at the Etihad Bainal Muslimeen Conference in Lahore today, “A child was raped, and a religious person who was connected to a seminary was found guilty of it. He was just a little child who was kidnapped from outside the mosque.”
She further explained, “When the suspect was found guilty, and Punjab Police arrested him – it was twisted into a religious issue. Since then, Fatwas against me have been issued on social media.”
The Chief Minister said that everyone knows when any person is found guilty of a crime, their punishment according to the law is necessary to uphold the sanctity of religion.
