Earlier, Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday made a statement against the Islamic Scholars that has angered them big time.

He said that the decision on how to run the country can’t be left to a Maulana and most of the Ulemas were against the creation of Pakistan.

This accusation made by such a high-level Government official is quite a serious one. However, Fawad Chaudhry is not one to shy away from speaking his mind.
