Islamabad, ANI. Already the clergy in Pakistan is enjoying uninterrupted power and dominance over the state and religion, while the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), a constitutionally sanctioned institution of clerics, is still taking responsibility to ensure That no law or policy should oppose Islamic scriptures or refute their decisions.
The CII supports domestic violence and child marriage, and the Pakistani constitution itself retains Islamist domination and sovereignty of Islamic scriptures. Journalist Kunwar Khuldun Shahid writes in The Spectator that those who oppose the use of any kind of major scriptures have been silenced by the punitive penal code for blasphemy.
The clerics in Pakistan are older than the law. It is clear from this example that Tariq Jameel, the well-known cleric of Pakistan, in April, passed a provocative remark against women in the presence of Prime Minister Imran Khan on Zee TV, claiming that COVID-19 ‘women’ Humanity came to dominate because of ‘wrongdoing’.

The incident occurred on Thursday during the Ehsa telethon operation. Prime Minister Imran Khan neither stopped Maulana Tariq Jamil from making such statements nor asked him questions on saying so. The next day of the telethon, Khan decided to talk about the pornography spreading in Pakistan keeping in mind ‘Bollywood and the West’, as it did after the rising divorce rate in the UK.
Let me tell you that women in Pakistan have to face discrimination and violence. No law and no government has come to their rescue so far.
