The government on Sunday disowned a bounty announced by a cabinet minister on the head of the producer of anti-Islam movie.
Shafqat Jail, spokesman for the Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, said that the government has nothing to do with the offer of 100,000 US dollars reward by Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmad Bilour for any person who kills maker of the movie.
The blasphemous film “Innocence of Muslims” made in the United States has triggered violent protest in Pakistan, leaving 20 people dead and nearly 200 injured in clashes with police on Friday.
Bilour announced in Peshawar on Saturday that he would award 100,000 US dollars to the person who kills the maker of the blasphemous film.
Bilour is a leader of Awami National Party (ANP), which is partner of the ruling coalition.
The minister’s statement caused embarrassment for the government which itself condemned the violent protests against the movie.
The Prime Minister condemned the minister’s bounty, saying the government has distanced itself from the statement and that he will take up the issue with the central president of the ANP, the spokesman said.
The ANP leaders have also said that Bilour’s announcement is his personal opinion and the party does not support his stance.

  1. Mr. Bilour is credited with single handed collapse of the Railway's beyond redemption. His pocket is now overflowing with the spoils from the Railway's demise. Making an offer of US $100,000.00, on the head of anti Islam film maker is a calculated move to appear holier than thou. This criminal must be brought to justice.

  2. Advise to my Muslim Brothers and Sister and the leader of this party (PTI):

    I am a Christian and live in the United States. We have Letterman, Stewart and others who make fun of Jesus all the time and I enjoy their jokes, they do not offend me, you know why? Because the Jesus that I know is too big and too above us that no mortal human being can offend. My Jesus is a bog boy who can take care of himself , I do not have to take care of his honor he is the one who takes care of me. If I start to think that I have to care of him then THAT will be blasphemy for me. I would suggest you to think of your Mohammad in that regard and you will not be degrading him (in my view) by begging Google or US Govt. that has nothing to do with what a free US citizen does. Hope that helps and you start to ridicule people who think that they have to defend your prophet as if he is BIG he will not be affected by mortals.

    May Jesus Bless you ALL!
