Talking to reporters on Sunday night, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Bilour's comments were an "expression of his own personal feelings and the government has nothing to do with it".
While addressing the media in Peshawar on Saturday, Bilour said, "I announce today that this blasphemer, this sinner who has spoken nonsense about the holy Prophet -- anyone who murders him, I will reward him with 100,000 dollars."
"I invite our Taliban and Al Qaeda brothers to take part in this noble cause. I will give 100,000 dollars to whoever succeeds. If he is handed over to me, I am willing to kill him with my own hands even if they hang me for it later on," the minister said.
Though a government spokesman has said that Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf intends to discuss the matter with ANP chief Asfandyar Wali Khan, no act is likely to be taken against Bilour as he does not belong to the ruling Pakistan People's Party, sources said.
Besides, the sources said, the PPP is keen to retain the ANP's support for the upcoming general election. Bilour belongs to an influential business family and is a top leader of the ANP.
