Pak hardline party leader declares 'Jihad' against vulgarity

Karachi, May 1 (ANI): Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (JUP) leader Dr Siddique Rathore, while addressing an All Party Conference (APC) here, has condemned the spread of vulgarity and nudity in Pakistan and said that raising a voice against vulgarity is "Jihad".

According to Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan (JI) deputy chief Prof Ghafoor Ahmed, immodesty is a horrible evil, which, if allowed to prevail, would eliminate all good aspects of a society.

Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf (PTI) leader Aslam Rajput said the promoters of vulgarity had invited the Taliban to come and take over.

Syed Zia Abbas said nude posters were widely displayed in the city, but the government has taken no action against it. Mir Nawaz khan Marwat accused the electronic and even the print media of promoting nudity.

According to The Nation, the APC said that immediate steps should be taken to stop the promotion of vulgarity, as it is a violation of the Constitution, adding that the Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (PEMRA) should ensure complete implementation of the code of ethics and initiate stern action against those that violate it. The APC also demanded that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority block all pornographic websites. (ANI)
