Islamabad, July 6(ANI): A Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) parliamentary leader has written a letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar, urging them to take serious notice of the recent gay pride event held by the US Embassy in Islamabad.
On June 26, the US Embassy had hosted the first ever gay, lesbians and transgender (GLBT) pride celebration ceremony there, and assured the Pakistani participants that Washington would continue to support their cause.
"A bunch of Pakistanis were especially invited to the ceremony, obviously to glamorise these devilish traits, to which even the Western society is generally averse," Senator Professor Khurshid Ahmad, Naib Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan, wrote in the letter.
"Such obnoxious activities constitute cultural terrorism and an ideological attack on Pakistani society and its religious and cultural moorings," he added.
Organising the GLBT attempt in Islamabad was also an attempt to promote such activities in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Professor Ahmad claimed.
"Since when foreign missions have been given the liberty to impose their perverted values on our society?" The News quoted the JI leader, as asking Gilani and Khar.
Professor Ahmad, who has also submitted an adjournment motion in the Senate against the issue, requested the prime minister to take serious notice of what he called a moral and cultural attack on Pakistan and its society. (ANI)
