Blasphemy Law: Peace pertaining..

Another shocking and heartbroken incident took place in Mardan at Abdul wali khan university. Mashal khan has been lynched and killed brutally by a mob in allegation of Blasphemy without any evidence. I highly condemn the incident, may his soul rest in peace and culprits should give appropriate punishment. But, here the story is not over. Everyone is shouting to rescind or to amend the Blasphemy law in order to control these type of crimes.   

It is crystal clear that most often, Blasphemy law is use to settle personal hostility by the people. In this way rescission of the law is such a senseless and foolish act because, it is not the solution of the matter. Misusing the law has become too casual.

It is the need of time to enforce laws and strict rules for those who misuse the law or take the law in their hand unlawfully. We have to make it possible to penetrate and implement the Blasphemy law in its real context in the society. 

In these cases media is also responsible to manipulate the things, creating violence and propagating sense of hatred against Blasphemy law. It is also the high time for our educational institutions to control intolerance, fanaticism and extremism in students. 

Blasphemy law is not a murderous tool and it doesn’t need to be taken away. It is a tool to control crime, hate speeches, violence, extremism and defamation against sanctified personalities. In this way it is the tool to establish long term peace in the society. It needs to implement in its real sense.
