Mr. Jack Starw, the Foreign Secretary of Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in his letter has supported the campaign against Shariah Law by saying "we have taken action on this issue with our EU colleagues, as well as raising it repeatedly in both official and ministerial level contact with the Pakistanis." He said the government of NWFP has repeatedly given assurances of its intention to safeguard minority rights, however we consistently advocate that any further moves should also protect and enhance minority rights. Mr. Mike O'Brien, the Minister of State for Trade, Investment and Foreign Affairs, of Foreign &b Commonwealth Office has also supported the campaign against Sharia Law and informed that he is closely in touch with representatives of the religious minorities, and the government of Pakistan. Mr. Nasir Saeed Coordinator of CLAAS, speaking to the scribe told, "We believe that every human being in the world should be respected, and able to enjoy full human and fundamental rights. Mr. Saeed, after the adaptation of Shariah law in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, has been campaigning to get the religious minorities exempted from Shariah law in Pakistan, and get the blasphemy law abolished, which has mandatory death penalty. He told that he has received a very positive response from the Members of the European Parliament.
