SWABI, July 17: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and Secretary-General of JUI, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said on Sunday that after the passage of the Hasba bill nobody could stop the Islamisation process in the Frontier province.

Addressing a public meeting here, he said getting the Hasba bill passed through the NWFP Assembly was the democratic right of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal government.

Maulana Fazl said the Hasba bill would be also approved by the Council for Islamic Ideology as it had been drafted in line with its directives. However, he said, the NWFP Assembly had every right under the constitution to frame laws.

Islamisation of the province was a long-standing demand of the people and their wish was fulfilled by the MMA.

The MMA leader said once implemented, the bill would uproot all evils from the society, setting an example for other provinces to follow.

Maulana Fazl said there was nothing wrong in the bill and leaders of various political parties were making a hue and cry just for political gains.

He warned the federal government that if it did not stop its anti-Hasba campaign religious parties would retaliate. He said the MMA would effectively defend the bill in the SC.
