Bill outlawing places of worship for non-Muslims “useless”
23 Nov 2009, 12:53 AM
The bill on outlawing places of worship for non-Muslims is a “useless” piece of legislation, Sheikh Hussein Rasheed Ahmed, president of the religious conservative Adhaalath party has said.
Speaking to Minivan News today, Rasheed said there were more important bills proposed by the government, such as the bill on taxation and the revised penal code.
“Some members are just trying to show that they’re doing something by proposing these useless bills to waste the Majlis’ time,” he said.
He added MPs were delaying the passage of legislation submitted by the attorney general that would be beneficial to the public and necessary for the government to function.
