MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

Society Pakistan & World Affairs

Dr Imran Farooq, Convenor of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), has questioned whether or not Pakistan is an Islamic state. He said that during Wednesday’s session of the National Assembly, almost all the opposition leaders boycotted the session in protest against the forwarding of a reference against Imran Khan by the Speaker of the National Assembly.

He further added that the opposition leaders argued that this was case of political victimisation against Imran Khan. If that were so, he said, thousands of men and women languishing in jail under the Hudood Law must be released forthwith or should have been released as per the arguments and objections of the opposition leaders against the filing of the reference against Imran Khan and its dispatch to the Election Commission.

Farooq asked those in favour of Imran Khan if their stance implied that Pakistan should also adopt the same practices, principles as provided for in Western societies as well as the permissiveness provided by the Western governments.

In Western countries, he said, three choices are available: It is up to both partners to have sex before marriage or after marriage while the Pakistani Constitution or Islamic injunctions do not provide the option of sex before marriage. Why then, he queried, should there be double standards, one set of values for Imran Khan and another for other Pakistanis.

Farooq said that, according to the opposition leaders’ objections, if having sex without marriage is legal and not against Islamic principles then why do the opposition leaders not demand the removal of the word “Islamic” from the name of Pakistan and name it just as Republic of Pakistan. Furthermore, he said, they should also demand the deletion of Clauses 62 and 63 from the Constitution of Pakistan.

He further added that, on the one hand, they talk about the Islamic principles and values while, on the other, they oppose the same principles as manifest in the case of Imran Khan.

Therefore, he further added, they should now come forward in favour of introduction of three choices as normally practiced in Western societies or countries between the two partners.

Lamenting the stance of the opposition leaders, he said that it was amazing that despite a clear court verdict that Imran Khan had sex with the late Sita White without marriage, resulting in the birth of a daughter, the opposition leaders are daringly supporting his un-Islamic, immoral and unconstitutional act in the sacred legislative body that is the National Assembly of Pakistan.

Farooq said that as far as the opposition leaders’ claims of pending references against other members are concerned, surely there is no reference existing of such a heinous and immoral act based on irrevocable court verdicts. If there is, he said, they should then refer this matter to the Supreme Court.

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

Secularlists calling on religious sanctions to justify their actions.

Hypocrisy and studpidity all round.

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

two wrongs don’t make a right. MQM is terrorist, we all know … Imran was a play boy, we all know that too. Opposition has no grounds to defend Imran on such charges…Even though reference was politically motivated but still holds the ground and opposition should be ashamed of their selves. Especially Mullas who dont wait a second to call you a KAFIR …I wonder how/why are they supporting Immi bhai? :konfused:

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

Well said by Farooq Satar. There is a double standard in Pakistan when it comes to sex. If we are giving free pass to Imran Khan's play boy life than we have to let go of majority of Hudood Ordinance victims, who are mainly in jail not because of consent rather rape. If Imran is so hell bent on protecting his private life than he should show same passion for ordinary Pakistanis. Also, it is an immature reaction from opposition, if they believe so much in Imran as leader and his morals than protect and argue it.

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

The western concept of "selective" statute of limitations is fortunately not included in sharia...but repenting and refraining from previous mistakes is certainly a big component of whether an individual can be punished under a certain law and off course whether the evidence is adequate and meets the minimum criteria set by sharia in the first place, 4 witnesses et al...

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

LOL!
Imran Farooq is a Jag Bag. If the same standard is applied then there will be no one left in the government and the assemblies. That brings up a good point on how to get rid of these A hole politicians. :hoonh:

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

What you mean? Are you saying that in Islam, if a person repent on mistake and decide to refrain from those mistakes than he should not be punished? If that is the case, shouldn't all in prison on any crime should be released as I am sure that today all in prison must be willing to repent and certianly may not repeat such sins (would refrain from such sins forever).

Or do you than mean that: Those that are in prison due to Sharaee crime, it is not because of the crime, but because they do not want to repent on their previous mistakes and would not like to refrain from such sins and that is why they are in prison? Or you mean to say that this only applies to Imran?

As for proof, Imran illigitimate daughter is proof enough. There is a girl whom Imran has accepted as his child. Nevertheless, if Imran does not accept her as his child than obviously there could be DNA test to prove that. Her mother demanded DNA test, American court asked Imran to give DNA test and he declined, thus in absence and him declining the DNA test, court declared Imran as father of the child. Later after death of Sita White, Imran took the custody of the child. Are these not proves enough? Even if Imran declines fatherhood and insists that he is innocent of this sin, than Imran should go to USA as asked by American court, and give the DNA teat to prove his innocence.

That is why it is always said that if one has glass house, one should never throw stone on the house of others. As for next election, what Imran would do if in whatever constituency Imran would run for election, his opponent would display huge pictures of his daughter and girlfriend ‘SIta White' everywhere; where it would be shown that Sita White calling Imran to take his responsibility as boyfriend and daughter asking her father hand over her? What will happen if ‘Sita White’ would be shown (with imitated voice), telling people that to vote her boy friend and have same experience as her, as the way her boyfriend ‘Imran Khan’ left her for greener pasture ‘Jamima Goldsmith’, he would leave his voters too? The way Imran did not fulfilled the duty towards the mother of his daughter and his daughter, how can anyone expect him to fulfil the duty of nation who are not even blood related to him as his daughter?

Probably next election in Imran constituency would see huge picture of Sita White singing: ‘Saajaan mera dhokay baaz niklaa .. piya mera dhokay baaz niklaa … Jamaima kay paisay kay peechay mujhay choor giya .. shadi na kee per bachcha pait may choor giya .... Mujh ko tou choraa batie bhie apni choor giya ... Abba tha phir bhi dhokay baaz niklaa .. Sajan yea kaisa dhikay baaz niklaa … Piya mera dhokay baaz nikla ……Now, what? Would that be an image destroyer or vote winner for Imran?

Just think. With such election campaign of maligning Imran, what is possibility that Imran would even win election anywhere? It is possible that Imran might not lose support of MMA leaders who are themselves of dubious character, but Pakistan conservative society would never vote for someone who is known to have an illegitimate child and not only that, he has also abandoned that illegitimate child, something probably bigger sin than to have illegitimate child, as there was no fault of child if father did some hanky panky and caused her birth.

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

try that with an auto insurance agent. If they increases your premium because of the ticket you got 2 years ago (but they just discovered it), try bailing out by saying that "IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO I AM A GOOD DRIVER NOW" and let me know what they say.

I dont remember any such thing in Islam that put any limit on "how late a person can get punishment for his crime"....do you?

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

Re: MQM questions opposition’s stance on Imran Khan

Why go so far in pointing fingers at Imran.. Look at our own Sheeda Telli who famously said "if you can buy milk from market, why is there a need to own a cow". The Farzand-e-Rawalpindi has no shame in admitting his relationships at all- I wonder why he hasn't been punished so far. I wonder where is Spock janab- the pride of saddar bazar.
