There has been a religious decree against tourism minister Nilofar Bakhtiar. One more "WTF is happening" scenario. Just for those who are not aware fatwa is an opinion by a group of people, nothing more.
Years ago, at a time when there were no such fatwas and Khushwant Singh had planted a peck on the cheek of the Pak High Commissioner's daughter, he was asked to apologise. Therefore, it has nothing to do with religious edicts alone.
I would say 'Pakis' is a derogatory term but some of my Pakistani friends use it too...
