Apostasy
IMRAN MUZAFFAR
Srinagar, Jan 11: Supreme Court of Islami Shariat Wednesday indicted Christian Pastor C M Khanna and Dutch national, Jim Bhorst for their involvement in luring people to convert their religion. The court said it will announce its verdict against the accused soon.
The court had summoned Khanna in connection with the case today. His statement was recorded and he was shown a CD – proof of his involvement in the sensitive issue. “During the hearing, Khanna confessed about luring people to change their religion to Christianity. He also made some startling revelations.”
Deputy Mufti-Azam Jammu and Kashmir, Mufti Muhammad Nasir-ul-Islam said, in a statement, that it has been proved beyond doubt that the accused pastor who is putting up in Kashmir for past many years, has been along with other accomplices luring people to change religion. “The Kashmir situation is going through a critical phase and if such elements are not brought to book it will have a serious negative impact on the society. It is shocking and surprising that state government was allowing such activities. Kashmir society will not tolerate such activities at all and we stand united against such elements,” Mufti Nasir said adding that detailed verdict against the accused would be made public soon.
