Federal Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Tuesday said a case will be registered against Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leader Mufti Kifayatullah for “speaking against” the Pakistan Army, saying his invective was not tolerable.
The minister was apparently referring to recent comments made by Kifayatullah during a TV talk show, in which he said “generals too should be held accountable for their theft”.
“It has been decided to lodge a case against Mufti Kifayatullah in Lahore,” Rashid told a TV Channel. “The language he used against our great army which has given countless sacrifices is not acceptable.” He said action will be taken according to the Constitution and law against whoever “uses abusive language” against the armed forces, the minister said.
