Imran Khan links Blasphemy laws to War on Terror – The Express Tribune

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) chief, Imran Khan has said that there is a “sound reason” for the blasphemy laws legislature, and the real reason for rising terrorism being witnessed across Pakistan is actually the US-led War on Terror.

Speaking to the media today (Sunday), Khan said that, “The War on Terror is the root cause for the increase in terrorism, injustice and intolerance… some people will feel that Islam is under threat, and to save Islam people will start sacrificing themselves more.”

Justifying the existence of the blasphemy laws, Khan further said that, “Even England has the blasphemy law and there is a sound reason for this… Allama Iqbal proposed a bill in the 1920′s Punjab legislative assemblies, which provides punishment for anything being said against any religious personality.”
Khan suggested that all political parties need to collectively take a decision on Pakistan’s ongoing role in the war on terror to bring an end to the violence being witnessed in the country
