Sir Salman Rushdie (EDM1732)

Sir Salman Rushdie

EDM number 1732 in 2006-07, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 19/06/2007.

That this House deplores the reported comments of the Pakistan Minister for Religious Affairs, Ijaz ul-Haq, who apparently believes that it would be legitimate for a suicide bomber to take the life of Salman Rushdie following the award of a knighthood for his literary achievements; further deplores the resolution of Pakistan's lower House of Parliament condemning the author's knighthood; believes that such utterances reflect medieval attitudes which damage Pakistan's reputation in the world; and urges the country to embrace modernity and tolerate differences in views and in religion.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
