INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani has said that religion should not be monopolized and the ruler should not impose his views on
others.Speaking at a madrassa in Kabul, Haqqani emphasized that the religious duty must be performed correctly and that the Islamic system
should not distance people from religion but rather bring them closer.He said that it is the responsibility of an Islamic system to prevent
people from turning to corruption and apostasy.You should not think that because I am the ruler, everyone must accept my words and if
someone does not accept my words, the sky will fall upon the Earth.Haqqani said that if an Islamic system fails to prevent people from
turning to corruption and apostasy, it would indicate the weakness of the system.If we prevent people from corruption and apostasy, we serve
the Islamic system
If people turn to apostasy and become corrupt, it means that we are narrow-minded and have not been faithful to the Islamic system.Haqqani
added that systems and policies change, but religion should not be insulted
He warned that no one should surrender in exchange for a post or money
