Thanks to General Zia, who enacted new laws that contrary to the previous blasphemy laws (that addressed ‘all religious beliefs’), were specific to ‘particular religious beliefs’ and no law was enunciated to provide a remedy to the non-Muslims from any act of other citizens that might hurt their religious feelings.
From 1947-1979, not even a single case was filed for defiling of the Holy Quran or defamation of the Holy Prophet pbuh by anyone (Muslim or Non Muslim), then why did Zia find it necessary to enact this law in the first place ?? Most probably to gain public support for his illegitimate rule by stirring and arousing religious sentiment within Muslims (i.e 97% of Pakistani population)
Well Zia is long gone, we can't achieve anything by wasting time on cursing him. Mullahs will not let you make any change in 295B & 295C but you can make the penalty of 295 same as 295B and 295A same as 295C and add 295D to give same penalty for making false accusations. That's the best you can do for now.
