JI slams Domestic Violence Prevention Act

LAHORE: The Jamaat-e-Islami has declared the Domestic Violence Prevention Act a blatant violation of Quran and Sunnah, Constitution of Pakistan, and an attack on the Islamic and eastern family values.

The PTI government should tender unconditional apology to the nation for introducing the unconstitutional and anti-Islam bill, and must repeal it referring to the Council of Islamic Ideology under Article 229 of the Constitution, demanded JI Ameer Sirajul Haq while addressing a meeting of central office-bearers on Wednesday. The meeting discussed overall political situation of the country, Kashmir and Afghanistan, and the party’s ongoing protest movement.
