Some Pakistani politicians should be sent to space: Fawad Chaudhry

ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry made a unique statement on Monday against some politicians of the country.

Speaking about Pakistan’s space mission, the information minister said, “There are some politicians who are creating chaos on ground and should be sent to space.”

“I will ask SUPARCO to ensure that once these politicians go to space, they cannot return,” he added.

Chaudhry said that this is an apt solution as these politicians will leave Pakistan for good and will not return.

Speaking about the recent country-wide protests following a Supreme Court verdict acquitting Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death on blasphemy charges, the information minister while addressing the media in Lahore said, “The protesters were damaging property in the name of Islam, but had no moral standing.”

“We want to resolve issues and will have to end sit-ins as it is not acceptable that two to three thousand people shutdown a city,” he added.
