Various political parties including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) presented the resolution in the Assembly.
Hassan should take his statement back and apologise to the whole nation, the lawmakers said in the Assembly and they emphasised that a person who kills innocent people can never be called a martyr.
"Anyone who does not condemn this statement is not a true Pakistani," said PPP MPA Sharmila Faruqi in a statement to the media.
Hassan had called the slain Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakimullah a ‘martyr.’
Moreover, in a recent TV programme the JI chief had reportedly said that if an American who died on the battlefield was not a martyr, then his backers were also not martyrs because they were chasing the same goal. This was implicitly directed towards the Pakistan Army.

JI comments are condemn-able. But remind me here, are these the same Sindhi politicians that have been involved in target killing in Karachi who have been calling their political gangsters as martyrs?
We are a crowd having short memory. Anybody can be a hero in a second. Tells a lot about the sorry state of this crowd!
There is a dire need to implement treason charges on this man and JI be banned who is wearing sheep's clothes under the protection of religion. Where is that CJ who could bring suo motu to potato and tomato sellers but no action under blasphemy law that is clearly mocked upon while making shaheed to terrorists and defenders of nation as just backers of USA and murderers. 1. We need blasphemy charges against this openly supporter of terrorists. 2. We need treason charges and banning JI just as Bangladesh did. 3. A strong precautionary warning for the supporters indirectly or directly involved in degrading and killings of our jawans who are shaheed and shedding their blood for Pakistan.
JI, JUI and Taliban took money from US to destroy Soviet Union and Afghanistan now they are taking money to destroy Pakistan. Let see if Punjab Assembly would pass resolution against JI and its leader.
PPP MQM in last 10 years I haven't seen you guys done anything good. But today I am happy to hear at least you speak against JI.
Great step. Fully supported. We need to rid the country of this mullahism. What we need are people who will build a name for the country. These would be scientists, doctors, engineers, artists, craftsmen, architects, musicians, designers, bankers, sportsmen. We have all of these and they are respected globally. Need to get them back and hand over the reigns to them to leading the country to prosperity, respect and honor
good on you MQM and PPP, nail this rotten coffin
Its about time we force these black sheeps out of the system. they are nothign but a cancer for the society.... even thinking of calling a murderer, psychopath, extremist a myter is disgrace to Islam itself. I think munawar should take classes of Islam himself.
