PWSHAWAR
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Monday unanimously passed a resolution condemning a report of the British Parliament in support of Ahmadia, Qadiani.
The joint resolution presented by Pakistan Muslim League Quaid Azam (PML-Q) parliamentary leader Mufti Obaid-ur-Rehman claimed that the report of the British Parliament was a conspiracy against the Muslims around the world.
“The British Parliament report is a conspiracy against Muslims around the world. Pakistan has been blamed in the report but did not include the stance of Pakistan,” the resolution read.
Pakistan’s foreign office should play its due role by engaging the British High Commission in Pakistan to withdraw the report from the British Parliament as soon as possible.
“The British Parliamentary report will create another issue tribulation. The end of prophecy is part of our faith and a red line for us. On the end of prophecy, we can sacrifice everything,” the resolution said.
It urged the government to immediately raise voice to stop this ‘fitna’.
The resolution also sought a strong protest against the governments of France and Sweden for the repeated Quran desecration.
Later on, the Covid-19 (Prevention of Hoarding) Act 2020 bill was tabled in the KP Assembly.

“The dealer involved in hoarding will be jailed for 3 years and fined 50% of the cost of recovered stocked goods,” the bill stated.
Magistrate will be authorized to seal any store without any warrant and those who report and point out the hoarding, he or she will get 10% reward on the value of stocked goods.
