Interior Minister Rehman Malik has justified the opposition to a change in law that would allow the criminal age of responsibility in Pakistan to be raised from seven to 12, using another one of his ingenious explanations, this time blaming “curry” the Pakistani children eat, according to a report by Daily Telegraph.
The interior minister said that the nation’s children grew up more quickly than in other countries due to the hot climate and spicy food, according to a report by Daily Mail.
Raising the age to 12 would adhere with United Nations guidelines, but the move is frustrating politicians eager to get the bill passed. The bill, drafted over three years ago, also aims to make child pornography, child trafficking and sexual abuse illegal, for the first time. Minister of Human Rights Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said Pakistan could be subjected to international sanctions if it failed to raise the minimum age for prosecutions.
He is such aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :@
Please ask the writer of this piece to correct the error. This is not Mr. Malik’s explanation. This so-called explanation was given by a Justice of the Lahore High Court in a judgment that struck down the law on juvenile justice. That particular Justice is now on the Supreme Court of Pakistan. It is easy to make fun of Mr. Malik but the fault is not his. I’d be delighted the day your reporters write so bravely about judicial verdicts. They should.
Come on Mr Rehman you can,t be serious.! Stop playing the doctor. i live in Scandanvia Here the people don,t eat so many spices but they are probably tallest people in the world. Have you had a look at the Dutch people? My wife burst out with laughterand i am scared she might start feeding my innocent grandchildren spices.By the way despite growing up in a warm country and being fed spices my height is 5 feet 7 inches! I have just measured myself. There is something called evidence based research. You never fail to fascinate me. Pleas keep me entertained
Says who ? Oh Him ( Rehman Malik ) the guy who still believes in Aliens
While I have no loyalties to Rehman Malik or the PPP, or any affiliations at all that would cause me to say this, the phrase “using another one of his ingenious explanations” flouts all standards of journalistic neutrality. I am thoroughly disappointed in Pakistan Today for allowing such nonsense to be printed and will think twice before coming here for news again.
He is another “Birbal” of king Zardari. At last they said something to keep the nation smiling.
rehman malik was a barber in his last profession. Maybe he will be a clown in his next.
He will do a fabulous job as a Joker. I hope he entertains many in jail soon.
