Pakistani Politics - A Rant.

Muahahah.

Okay, its mean to laugh, I know. But since the story broke on Geo TV at 5 PM PST, I have not stopped giggling inside.

Pakistan's opposition leader, firebrand cleric Fazal-ur-Rehman, said on Monday he was returning home after authorities at Dubai airport refused him transit to Saudi Arabia and threatened him with deportation. Speaking to a private tv channel from Dubai, he said he did not know why the United Arab Emirates had barred him, but he had decided to return to Pakistan."First, they told us we can proceed and they stamped (the transit visa). Then they said you should wait and we are waiting, but I have decided to go back to Pakistan." Pakistan's information minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, said the opposition leader was expected to return on Tuesday morning. "He has been black-listed by the UAE immigration officials and, according to our information, he is being deported," the minister told Reuters, but he was unable to shed any light on why Rehman was not welcome in the country.

The MMA leaders are, as expected, outraged. Too bad they can't blame the Western world for this, since UAE is a Muslim nation. Muahahahhaha.
