I’m not sure how they are going to find out who supports this murderer, but its the right move. All those lawyers and anyone who supports this killer is not part humanity or should be part of civilized world.

US govt asked to revoke visas of Qadri’s supporters

** US Congress terms Salmaan Taseer’s assassination an unspeakable tragedy, heinous crime*
WASHINGTON: The United States Congress, through a letter, the other day requested the US government to revoke visas to anyone supporting Mumtaz Qadri, the killer of late Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer.

In its letter addressed to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Congress, while terming the assassination of the governor an “unspeakable tragedy” and a “heinous crime”, stated that Salmaan Taseer was a strong advocate for religious tolerance, pluralism and democracy in Pakistan. He was cut down by an assassin’s bullets who opposed changes to statutes against religious minorities, it observed.

“This tragedy has been compounded by the public reaction of significant elements of Pakistan’s clerical, journalistic and law community, who have praised the murderer and threatened the lives of other officials, who refuse to comply with the terrorisation of Christians, Ahmadis and women,” the signatories of the document remarked. Congressmen Steve Israel, Gary Ackerman, Peter King and Michael McCaul said they were aware that the people who were praising Taseer’s death were frequent travellers to the US and held American visas. “We urge you to identify such Pakistanis and not issue them visas and applications for new visas from them should also be denied,” they requested the US government.

“Further problems are plaguing the democracy in Pakistan,” they said, adding that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MNA Sherry Rehman was being threatened for introducing a bill in the National Assembly proposing amendments to the blasphemy law.

The Congress leaders requested the US State Department to increase diplomatic efforts and investment to support growth of democracy and tolerance in Pakistan, adding, “It is imperative that we show our dedication to peace and not further violence.” pr

US mulls visa ban on several Pakistanis
Staff Report

LAHORE: The US government is considering a ban on issuance of visa to those people who supported the assassination of former Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer earlier this month. Sources in Washington told Daily Times that the Congress took serious view of cheering, supporting and condoning Taseer’s assassination by one of his bodyguards in Islamabad on January 4, or for publicly encouraging, directly or indirectly, the killing of “blasphemers.” They said the US government was preparing a list of Pakistani journalists, parliamentarians, lawyers and religious leaders who would not be issued visas or allowed to travel to the US for supporting the assassination of Taseer and lionising his assassin. They said journalists Meher Bokhari, Ansar Abbasi, Majeed Nizami, Irfan Siddiqui and Mir Shakilur Rehman, MNAs Shaikh Waqas Akram and Maulana Fazlur Rehman, lawyer Ashraf Gujjar, and religious leaders Sahibzada Fazal Kareem, Syed Munnawar Hassan, Asadullah Bhutto, Maulana Shah Turabul Haq Qadri, Muhammad Ahmed Ludhianvi, Syed Mazhar Saeed Kazmi, Allama Syed Riaz Hussain Shah, Allama Zamir Sajid, Haneef Tayyab, Shahid Ghauri, Farid Paracha, Mufti Naeem of Jamia Binoria, Maulana Asad Thanvi, Maulana Shabbir, Pir Khalid Sultan, Pir Ghulam Siddiq Naqshbandi, Allama Syed Khizr Hussain Shah, Alhaj Amjad Chishti, Allama Ghulam Sarwar Hazarvi, Allama Syed Shamsuddin Bokhari, Pir Syed Ashiq Ali Shah Jilani, Mufti Muhammad Iqbal Chishti, Allama Fazal Jamil Rizvi, Agha Muhammad Ibrahim Naqshbandi Mujaddidi, Maulana Muhammad Riaz Qadri, Maulana Gulzar Naeemi, Allama Syed Ghulam Yaseen Shah, Abul Khair Muhammad Zubair, and all leaders of the Tahaffuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat Mahaz might face the proposed ban.

Re: US govt asked to revoke visas of Qadri’s supporters

Are you just that ignorant or full of blind hatred...JI/JUI are predominantely of the deobandi school of thought and both have condemned Taseer's killing...while on the other hand Taseer's killer Qadri was a barelwi as are 80 percent of Pakistanis...barelwis have created a worshipping cult, one which elevates the Prohpet to almost divine status...it is they who are at the forefront of opposing Taseer's/liberals'/govern't's anti blasephemy law crusade...

Re: US govt asked to revoke visas of Qadri’s supporters

:D. I love it when clueless idiots foam at the mouth while giving me the rope to hang them with. Heres Syed Munawar Hasan (you might have heard of him)talking about Qadri:

As for them not opposing changes to the law, hereis him talking about the law. Similarly JUI has also opposedany attempt to change the law.

Re: US govt asked to revoke visas of Qadri’s supporters

un kay mathey par likha hota hai "Qadri's supporter"

Re: US govt asked to revoke visas of Qadri’s supporters

Apparently this law will only apply to those that are known to support Qadri. Some very vocal religious figures for example who are on record as voicing their approval of Salman Taseers killer.
