Shariah and photography

 Published in The News on October 14, 1998


How ironic it is that  newspapers should publish the photograph of a woman minister talking to the Prime Minister while the Shariah Bill was being debated in Parliament, Although the bill is yet to be passed by the Senate, it must be ascertained before hand whether the newspapers will be allowed to publish any pictures at all, let alone those of women or beardless men.
