Obstacles for immunisation: Cleric declares jihad against polio campaign

[Shardul.....the lion]

MUZAFFARGARH:
A cleric in Muzaffargarh declared the polio campaign ‘un-Islamic’ and announced at the local mosque that Jihad should be carried out against the visiting polio vaccination team.

According to details, the local polio team entered Muzaffargarh’s rural Khan Pur Bagga Sher area and asked local families to cooperate with the campaign.

When the local cleric, Maulvi Ibrahim Chisti found out about the campaign, he immediately went to the biggest mosque in the area and declared that polio drops are ‘poison’ and against Islam. He added that if the polio team forced anybody to partake in the vaccination campaign, then Jihad was ‘the only option’.

As a result, the polio team returned to Muzaffargarh city without carrying out immunisation, and reported the matter to Muzaffargarh Health Executive District Officer (EDO) Dr Aashiq Hussain, who in turn informed the Muzaffargarh District Coordination Officer (DCO) Tahir Khursheed.

A police inquiry was ordered, after which a raid was carried out in the cleric’s area. However, Chisti had already escaped by the time the police arrived.

Residents said the cleric had tried to convince them that the polio campaign was a ‘western conspiracy’ to render the population impotent.

After the police raid, the polio team returned to Khan Pur Bagga Sher to implement the polio immunisation campaign

[Rajaraja Chola]

Who gave him the authority to become mullah?
Doesnt mullah's get some scientific education also?

 

[Developereo]

Reminds me of the old joke.

Maulvi: Aamin to billa hai
Aamin: Maulvi to k_tta (dog) hai

Are you not feeling well today?

Of course there is opposition against polio vaccination after the OBL recce campaign the CIA led in guise of polio vaccination. Any guy who has access to a microphone in whatever capacity would understandably talk against a possible future foreign op involving their children. Pretexts are easy to come by.

 

[Jango]

The police chased him away!!!

But if they ever fond him, tie his legs for the rest of his life and let him feel polio.

So in other words.. you would allow people accept a 1000 polio cases just to protect somebody as pathetic as OBL?

 

[BelligerentPacifist]

Protect their children.

 

[shining eyes]

Idiot ill-informed person......... Someone should go and tell him something about it? Our fu*king media!!!
Instead of spreading AWARENESS they will report it and make their own name no matter what happens to the people of that backward area.

 

[SQ8]

Protect their children.

So you are implying that there is a mass polio conspiracy that intends to turn all Pakistani Children impotent or something?
Are you well?

Something's really the deal today, you're not yourself!
Bhai jan I'm talking not getting the kids implicated in terrorist or counter-terrorist activity.

 

[surya kiran]

Are there any campaigns which are run in Pakistani media to educate the people about polio? I mean besides PTV.

 

[livingdead]

I am hearing this conspiracy theory since last 5 years, which is why govt roped in mullahs to get support of muslims.
Problem with polio is if you leave few people, that will render the whole billion rupee drive useless.

 

[Marwat Khan Lodhi]

Mullah has to maintain his role in society so he does this kind of dramabazi.

I wonder why an Indian (or a Pakistani) would start a flame baiting thread.

As you all can see it clearly that the Moooolah ran away (like they always do) thanks to local police, and polio campaign was completed in the area.

Must we given Mooolahs unnecessary advertisement by posting such horse's @rse articles?
