ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Wednesday said effective prevention of misuse of the criminal law could be debated instead of opposing its existence.
Fawad, in a tweet said, the defamation was dealt under the civil law but false accusation and ridiculing were the well-defined Islamic laws with strict recommended penalties for the violators.
Referring to the Surah Al-Nissa (The Women Chapter) of the Holy Qura’an, the minister said leveling false accusations against women had a penalty and there was no justification to say the criminal law was inappropriate.
