Islamabad: After United Kingdom, the United States of America (U.S.A) has also restricted Pakistan’s Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmed Bilour from entering the country due to his inciting for hatred announcement of placing head money for the anti-Islam film-maker, who ridiculed Prophet (P.B.UH) in his film, Innocence of Muslims.
The US embassy in Islamabad has cancelled the visas of Ghulam Ahmad Bilour and his wife, and banned him from visiting the United States in the future.
“I have received a call from the embassy today, informing me about the ban and cancellation of visas,” Bilour told media while defending his bounty statement and emphasizing the need of an international law which would make such profane acts a punishable crime across the world.
“I am not worried whether the US or UK restrict my entry into their countries; I would only be worried if I was banned on visiting Makkah and Medina but thanks God this didn’t happen” he said.
The Spokesperson of the US Embassy in Islamabad refused to comment on the issue.
“It’s against privacy laws of the United States to disclose such details,” said the spokesperson.
Earlier in September, Bilour had announced a $100,000 bounty and invited members of the Taliban and al Qaeda to take part in the ‘noble deed’, adding that given the chance he would kill the filmmaker with his own hands.
