It is a case of one maulana with a 12th century mindset standing in the way of women's rights in Pakistan. This is the reality of our beloved democracy, or should we call it by a more suitable name, i.e. hypocrisy. The bill is passed by Punjab government, it only applies to women in Punjab where the dinosaur maulana has no electoral base. Why should the prime minister or Punjab government pay any heed to this dinosaur?
