Pakistan's minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti assassinated

[EastWest]

Their were several christian ministers before him. Looks like the issue of blasphemy law plays again...

so what if blasphemy laws issue is involved????

Doesnt any minority in ur country have the right to speak against a man-made law if that is persecuting them?

RIP.

Why are you guys jumping to conclusions and dragging religion into these matters? Every living soul on the face of the earth has to taste death one way or the other. The minister could have been killed by personal enmity with someone as in most cases in Pakistani politics and someone very smartly has used to religion card to escape the crime, then why to drag religion in these matters and putting blames straight on Muslims?

 

[Rao Sahab]

He was probably killed for being a christian and on top of that a minister for the minorities.

Well that's obvious... Many premature conclusions are expected on this thread. Many people here are going to overdo with their liberalism and would start talking about issues and things which they themselves have no idea about.

Islamabad: Pakistan's Minister for Minority Affairs, Shahbaz Bhatti, has died in Islamabad after his car was shot at by men who are yet to be identified. They opened fire on his car as he was leaving his home.

Mr. Bhatti was the only Christian in his country's cabinet. Along with Salmaan Taseer, the Punjab governor who was assassinated, Mr. Bhatti was a vocal advocate of amending Pakistan's tyrannical blasphemy laws. After Mr. Tasser was killed in January, Mr. Bhatti organized several memorials for him.

Some Pakistani TV channels report that Mr Bhatti's assassins pulled up in a white car, and asked a woman and child travelling in Mr. Bhatti's vehicle to step out of the car before they opened fire on the minister. The fact that Mr. Bhatti was traveling without any security is now being questioned.

Mr. Bhatti was rushed to a local hospital where doctors declared him dead upon arrival.



Local media reports that he had been receiving death threats for campaigning for justice for a group of Christians whose homes were set on fire for allegedly committing blasphemy. The Christians were attacked, reportedly by Muslims, in August in a town in Punjab named Gojra. More than 50 houses were set on fire. Seven Christians died in the violence.

Like Mr. Taseer, Mr. Bhatti was asking for the release of Aasia Bibi, a Christian woman who is in jail and has been given the death sentence after Muslims in her village accused her of insulting the prophet Muhammad. She was convicted largely on the basis of hearsay, sparking an international campaign that includes the Pope.

Everyone should pray for Pakistan

^^^

Let's pray for our country first.

The Pakistanis are just reaping what they sowed. Their army Generals enacted and protected laws of Blasphemy and now their country is paying the price.

The tree of hatred and extremism is bearing its bitter fruits now.

 

[BoseDK]

Definitely, Bad Taliban.
