Washington DC: January 8, 2011. (By Ahmar Mustikhan) One of Pakistan's most liberal women and former information minister Sherry Rehman has been declared wajibul qatal, an apostate who deserves death. The Sultan Masjid in the Defence Housing Authority, a posh housing scheme that was started for Pakistan military officers in Karachi -- commercial capital of Pakistan -- more than four decades ago, passed the death edict on Rehman for moving a resolution in Pakistan's parliament to amend the draconian blasphemy law and remove the death penalty from it to protect Pakistan's religious minorities, the Politico has reported. The entire religion fervor comes within weeks after Pakistan forced the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency to flee the country and appears to be part of a psychological warfare orchestrated by the Inter-Services Intelligence against the West, in particular the USA. Pakistan analysts believe the main goal is to blackmail and prevent the U.S. from entering Pakistan to root out the Al Qaeda. According to Politico, Pakistan's home minister Rehman Malik in stead of providing foolproof security to Sherry Rehman has asked her to flee the country. Sherry Rehman, who is extemely liberal, was once the editor of the investigative monthly The Herald, a sister publication of Dawn daily, while her then husband Ehsan Malik was the finance director of the company. There were rumors in Dawn newsroom at the time that their divorce followed after Ehsan Malik returned home unannounced one day. She belongs to a wellknown family of Sindhi intellectuals of Old Karachi. Her step-sister Toronto-based Humaira Rehman is a leader of the World Sindhi Institute.
