NA bars Hindu lawmaker from presenting bill seeking ban on alcohol

[shah_123]

The ban is pointless as it would never stop the sale of Alcohol and instead make it worse by pushing people to moonshine and associated deaths.

This lawmaker is a complete Drama. Jumped ship from PmL(N) to PTi.

Sale of drugs also never stops, let's make it legal?

Only bootleggers will benefit from such prohibition ..
Jis ne peeni hai us ne peeni hi hai

Quote inspired by that joker Fawad chaudhry?

Jis ne chori daketi karni hai so karni hai, so why make laws to stop such crimes.

Dr Ramesh Kumar called for introducing strict laws to ban sale of alcohol in the name of any religion.

Why alcohol is being sold in the name of any religion ........ in the first place? I don't think any of the religion makes it a duty for its followers to consume alcohol.

The problem of Pakistani society is that they made alcohol consumption a sign of Ayashi, status, liberalism, being modern, free and to prove they defy Islam etc etc.

No one can guarantee that regular consumption of alcohol and drinking is beneficial for health. It's an escape if you don't remain in your senses ........ and that is why Quran sort of prohibited drinking sharab / khamar.

We can't enforce alcohol ban on non Muslims.

We can't enforce alcohol ban on non Muslims.

How come sir? They are also citizens of the county, if they can follow traffic law so can they follow alcohol ban law. Alcohol is not good for the person itself and the people around or near that person, if state makes a law to protect him and people around him they should not be a hurdle in that, actually no one should be.

As if it's enforced on Muslims in Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Looks like the elites are more progressive than the masses. Who could have guessed?

I would use the term decadent instead.

I say let the minorities themselves make the call for themselves. From what I see on the street, most Pakistani Non-Muslims are in favor of the alcohol ban.

Constitution of pakistan never meant to folliw islam it is lues tgese politions asks us no law can be made against islamic teaching but this is a clear exampl and slap to those the constitution of pak is secular alcholl in isl prohabited but free in pak

 

[Baby Leone]

pakistani laws are stupid

out total exports 23 billion $ and out total budget 55bn$
Indian alcohol revenue 62bn$
no wonder we will remain a beggar country always

Revenue of the alcoholic drinks market worldwide by country in 2017 (in million U.S. dollars)


View attachment 526173

so not you will compare the exports of Pakistan with Internal revenues from consumption of billion plus country

Non Muslims are just an excuse by "Jis ne peeni hai so peeni hai" group.

O Bhai! non muslims are just used as an excuse.-- the ban will hurt more "Jis ne peeni so peeni hai" group.

Am in favor of legalizing the sale of drugs..... people die consuming low quality drugs.-- when legalized at least we will get quality.
Jis ne suta lagana hai so lagana hai ...

• Dr Ramesh Kumar called for introducing strict laws to ban sale of alcohol in the name of any religion.

ISLAMABAD – A Hindu lawmaker was barred from tabling a constitutional amendment bill, seeking a ban on the sale of alcohol, in the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Pakistan Tehreek Insaf’s (PTI) Hindu MNA Dr Ramesh Kumar sought permission to present the bill, stating that alcohol consumption is prohibited in all religions, including Hinduism, Islam and Christianity. He called for cancelling the alcohol permits in the country.

The PTI and Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal supported the bill but it was opposed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). The bill seeks an amendment to the Article 37 of the Constitution.




Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, however, barred the minister from presenting the bill after the majority of lawmakers, who were present at that time, voted against it.

The MMA, in response to the deputy speaker’s order, protested and demanded voting on the bill again.

The opposition parties, including PML-N and PPP, staged a walk out in NA over not running the session according to the agenda.

The session of the lower house of the parliament was then adjourned till Wednesday.

Talking to media outside the assembly, Kumar called for introducing strict laws to ban sale of alcohol in the name of any religion.

Kumar said unfortunately a number of people had obtained the permits for alcohol business in the name of Hindu religion, which was unacceptable.

An expert is of the view that the PTI legislator could get approved the bill from the NA easily by ensuring the presence of the members of the his party and allies as the Imran Khan-led party is in the majority.

In 2014 when Kumra was also the MNA had said alcohol is strictly forbidden according to the teachings of the Shrimad Baghwat Piran – a Hindu holy book, while also emphasising that decision makers (MNAs) or other higher-ups in the community are prohibited to drink under any circumstances.

“Sale, production, importation and transportation of alcoholic beverages in Pakistan occurred under the banner of minorities which is strongly offensive and insulting,” Dr Ramesh said.

In medicine, we view alcohol as a drug as it leads to disease and pathology. It is much more dangerous than cannabis, qat, and other recognized drugs.

It is not only the leading cause of liver failure, a major cause of hepatitis, but also leading cause of down's syndrome through fetal alcohol syndrome.
