Re: After Rehman Malik, Aitzaz Ahsan Maidan Main
Nothing objectionable, indeed. One can be religious in personal capacity and liberal at the same time, I agree. My problem is when we just use religion for political purposes, even by ‘liberal’ parties like PPP.
I am just pointing out that we (regardless what political leanings we have) try to use Islam for our benefit and at the same time claim mullahs do it. I don’t think there is anything objectionable about Aitezaz Ahsan not knowing how to recite Quran either. I am just pointing to the fact that he CHOSE to do it not for his personal religious reasons but to IMPRESS others through superficial religiosity. This is what Asifa is doing. This is what Benazir did. What is the difference between Mullah and Benazir then?
P.S. A true ‘religious’ or a ‘liberal’ person would not do ‘jaisa des waisa bhes’.
