RAWALPINDI : Students brought Valentineââ¬â¢s cards and flowers on Monday to the detained self-confessed killer of one of Governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer.
Supporters of Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri gathered outside the high-security prison in Rawalpindi, where he was to appear before an anti-terrorism court.
Outside Adiyala prison, about 140 people rallied in support of Qadri, joined by 10 students from a government college who turned up with posters, Valentineââ¬â¢s cards and flowers.
ââ¬ÅCelebrating Valentineââ¬â¢s Day with Mumtaz Qadri,ââ¬Â read one placard.
They handed over flowers and cards to jail officials who said they would give them to Qadri, as students from religious schools shouted ââ¬ÅFree Qadri!ââ¬Â.
ââ¬ÅWe admit it is not our tradition and it is wrong to celebrate Valentineââ¬â¢s Day, but it is now widely celebrated and the media is full with Valentineââ¬â¢s Day activities,ââ¬Â student Hussain Ahmed, 22, told AFP at the jail.
ââ¬ÅWe love Qadri because he loves the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and that is why we have brought flowers and Valentineââ¬â¢s Day cards for him,ââ¬Â Ahmed said.
Qari Hanif Qureshi, a firebrand speaker and apparent inspiration for Qadri, also said Valentineââ¬â¢s Day was not Muslim.
ââ¬ÅIt is wrong to celebrate it, but since these students have come to express their love and support for Qadri, we cannot turn them away,ââ¬Â Qureshi told AFP
Cheers
