"صوبائی اسمبلی پنجاب کا یہ ایوان پاکستان کے سابق ہائی کمشنر واجد شمس الحسن کی جانب سے خبریں اخبار کو دیئے گئے اس بیان کی پُرزور مذمت کرتا ہے کہ ذوالفقار علی بھٹو نے مذہبی و دینی جماعتوں کے دباؤ پر مرزائیوں کو غیر مسلم و اقلیت قرار دینے کا جو فیصلہ کیا تھا وہ غلط تھا۔ یہ بیان نہ صرف پاکستان بلکہ بین الاقوامی مذہبی و دینی جماعتوں اور اُمت مسلمہ میں شدید اشتعال اور دل آزاری کا سبب بنا ہے اور قومی اسمبلی کے متفقہ فیصلے کی توہین کی گئی ہے۔
