Taseer funeral prayer leader forced to flee from Pakistan – The Express Tribune

LAHORE: The cleric who led the funeral prayers for the late Governor Punjab, Salmaan Taseer has been forced to flee the country following threats.

According to a report by the Press Trust of India, Muhammad Afzal Chishti, the secretary general of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Ulema wing, had left the country after having received numerous threats against his life.

The report, quoting sources close to Chisti said that he had recently moved to an undisclosed location abroad after spending much of the past seven months in hiding since leading the funeral prayers.

In a related development, Chishti’s son Moin Chishti had filed an application with the Punjab Police chief, requesting him to provide security to the cleric’s family living in Lahore.

“Although my father has left Pakistan for abroad as there were threats to his life from different hardline religious groups, the other members of my family have received fresh threats,” Moin said.

The religious community had almost unanimously refused to lead prayers of the former governor after Taseer had shown support to a blasphemy convict. Taseer was then killed for his voiced opinions against existing blasphemy laws. Despite immense pressure from the religious community, Chisti led the prayers for Taseer, who was also a senior PPP member.

I think DW is capable of defending herself, but i have to say something in reply to your post in her absence, nobody is against those mullahs and muftis if they behave like human being and muslim, people are against the mullahs who are fanatic.

I don't have anything against Mullahs as long as they don't interfere in lives of people who don'r agree them. They should stop preaching violence & stop threatining people for having a different POV..

why people are becoming so imotionak, its live BB margye phir bhi BB inda hai, leave the dead man and stop making stories every time

so we should actaully forget all the people who were killed by the fanatics & let 'em take over everything?

She is a lady?

[Karachiite]
