Pakistan: Punjab Assembly resolution seeks most stringent anti-blasphemy laws, USCIRF condemns
Washington/IBNS: The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) on Friday condemned the resolution passed by the Punjab Assembly in Pakistan which asked the federal government to make new or improve existing laws to sternly punish blasphemers and set up a Saudi Arabia like central screening or filtration system to intercept blasphemous material on social media.
Islamabad/IBNS: At a time when Pakistan PM Imran Khan shames 'secular' India on what he calls is now following a “Hindutva Supremacist fascist ideology”, the Islamic nation is pronouncing death sentences for blasphemy. The latest is a Multan court on Saturday sentencing Junaid Hafeez, a former university lecturer, to death on blasphemy charges.
