Federal Government has no plan to put Aasia Bibi’s name on ECL or appeal for a review against the court’s verdict. A review petition is been filed by the concerned party which has nothing to do with the government.

The complainant in the Asia Bibi case, Qari Muhammad Salaam, has filed a review petitiontoday through his counsel, Ghulam Mustafa, against the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Asia's conviction in the blasphemy case.

The petitioner had also sought the placement of Asia's name on the Exit Control List (ECL) till the judgement is reviewed.

Soon after the news broke, the ruling party issued this statement to clarify the government's stance in this regard.

Moreover, Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari also took to Twitter to explain the federal government's position.

Some correction to clear media confusion: A protestor has filed a Review Petition in SC & in that demanded Asiya BB's name be put on ECL - Govt has nothing to do with both these moves. Review Petition and it's prayers are between SC and petitioner. PM's position has been clear.

Mazari further said that the government has taken the main opposition parties — both PML-N and PPP — on the matter and "will keep them posted about the developments".

It is pertinent to mention that the confusion had been exacerbated by the party's own information minister for Punjab, Fayyazul Hasan Chauhan, who reportedly made a statement to a TV channel saying the government would place Asia on the ECL.

I was quite disheartened to read in other threads that the government seemed to be conceeding to the laanti har@mis causing chaos in the country, and im glad that they haven't.

There are already such laws on the books.
Then it should be implemented and there should be a push to implement laws that are already written at least follow the minimal we got!

The sooner they ship Asia bibi out the better. That way this issue will die out quicker once people realise she is long gone.

btw yesterday I travelled on the lahore-multan road and it had been blocked on many different locations. It was the same in my city's center. Today I saw nothing of any consequence. I went through the whole city and saw no trace of any problem.

Hopefully tomorrow will go without incident and this thing will die with a wimper instead of the bang as some people are hoping for.

Once the issue has died out sufficiently, the Government will hopefully start working on long term solutions to both this specific problem and the overall problem this represents.
